Mieap forms membrane-less organelles involved in cardiolipin metabolism
Summary: Biomolecular condensates (BCs) are formed by proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) via liquid-liquid phase separation. Mieap/Spata18, a p53-inducible protein, participates in suppression of colorectal tumors by promoting ...

Cardiolipin biosynthesis and remodeling enzymes are altered during development of heart failure
Cardiolipin (CL) is responsible for modulation of activities of various enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Although energy production decreases in heart failure (HF), regulation of cardiolipin during HF development is unknown.

Immunometabolic and Spatiotemporal Control of Tissue‐Resident Memory T Cell Biology
Tissue‐resident memory T (TRM) cells in barrier tissues provide a frontline defense against invading pathogens. Immune (Signals 1–3) and nutrient (Signal 4) cues play an integral role in directing TRM formation and heterogeneity. The spatial and temporal organization of these signals establishes durable TRM cells across tissues, enabling diverse ...

Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (LCHADD) is a metabolic disorder caused by the loss of LCHAD enzymatic activity in the α-subunit of the trifunctional protein (TFPα), leading to impaired fatty acid oxidation (FAO).

Mitochondria and neuroprotection in stroke: Cationic arginine-rich peptides (CARPs) as a novel class of mitochondria-targeted neuroprotective therapeutics [PDF]
Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally and represents a major cause of devastating long-term disability. Despite sustained efforts to develop clinically effective neuroprotective therapies, presently there is no clinically available ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Negligible release of cardiolipin during milk secretion by the ruminant
The presence of cardiolipin (diphosphatidyl glycerol) in lactating mammary tissue (cow and goat) was investigated. The tissue was separated into subcellular fractions by sedimentation; the identities of the fractions were confirmed by electron microscopy.

Anticardiolipin Antibodies Recognize β(2)-Glycoprotein I Structure Altered by Interacting with an Oxygen Modified Solid Phase Surface [PDF]
Anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) derived from the sera of individuals exhibiting the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) directly bind to beta(2)-glycoprotein I (beta(2)-GPI), which is adsorbed to an oxidized polystyrene surface. Oxygen atoms were introduced

The Metabolic Role of Mitochondria in the Perinatal Cardiac Development and Cardiovascular Diseases
This review explores the critical role of mitochondria in heart development and cardiovascular disease. It highlights how mitochondrial maturation during embryonic‐to‐postnatal transition, regulated by oxygen and metabolic changes, shapes cardiac structure and function.

A gp41 MPER-specific llama VHH requires a hydrophobic CDR3 for neutralization but not for antigen recognition [PDF]
The membrane proximal external region (MPER) of the HIV-1 glycoprotein gp41 is targeted by the broadly neutralizing antibodies 2F5 and 4E10. To date, no immunization regimen in animals or humans has produced HIV-1 neutralizing MPER-specific antibodies ...
