Aging-induced tRNAglu-derived fragment impairs glutamate biosynthesis by targeting mitochondrial translation-dependent cristae organization

Aging-induced trnaGlu-derived fragments disrupt glutamate biosynthesis by targeting mitochondrial translation-dependent cristae organization Academic Background Mitochondrial cristae are inward protrusions of the inner mitochondrial membrane that undergo significant morphological changes during aging. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to th...

A Human Omentum-Specific Mesothelial-Like Stromal Population Inhibits Adipogenesis Through IGFBP2 Secretion

A Human Omentum-Specific Intermesothelial Fibroblast Population Inhibits Adipogenesis by Secreting IGFBP2 Background and Research Objective With the growing prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases, the plasticity and heterogeneity of adipose tissue have become research hotspots.
