This review highlights mitochondrial dysfunction as a central driver of pancreatic β cell failure in diabetes, caused by disrupted mitochondrial quality control (MQC), oxidative stress, and impaired organelle communication. Emerging therapies, such as DRAK2 inhibitors and metabolic reprogramming agents, show promise in restoring β cell function by ...

We developed a LASSO‐based approach to uncover a three‐layered “fan‐in fan‐out” network architecture for complex traits like yeast aging, showing that peripheral genes influence lifespan indirectly through master regulators, which converge on core functional modules (e.g., stress response, autophagy).

A Decline in Follicle Cell Function Is a Major Driver of Drosophila Ovarian Aging
Aging drives a progressive accumulation of defects in somatic follicle cells of the Drosophila ovary. These defects are accompanied by reduced tissue and genome integrity, altered transcriptional profiles, and disrupted germ‐soma coordination. Targeted overexpression of Atg8a in a subset of follicle cells mitigates these defects and preserves ...

ABSTRACT Aim The liver exhibits a remarkable regenerative capacity, enabling this organ to maintain homeostasis even after significant injury. However, hepatic regeneration requires sufficient energy to sustain cellular hypertrophy and proliferation, thus ensuring efficient tissue repair.

Songorine inhibits mitophagy in chronic heart failure via the TBC1D15/Fis1/Rab7A pathway
Abstract Background and purpose Songorine (SGR) is an alkaloid extracted from Aconitum carichaelii Debx. and has a demonstrated role in cardiac dysfunction. Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a severe clinical syndrome leading to functional impairment and death, primarily due to the deterioration of energy metabolism in cardiomyocytes. However, the precise
