Correlation of mitochondrial respiration in platelets, peripheral blood mononuclear cells and muscle fibers

Heliyon
There is a growing interest for the possibility of using peripheral blood cells (including platelets) as markers for mitochondrial function in less accessible tissues.

Heat death and the development of thermotolerance in the blow fly calliphora viicina: a study of flight muscle mitochondrial function [PDF]

, 1996
The LD(_50) of 10-day-old blowflies differed significantly in two different stocks, and were found to be 38.12 ± 0.07ºC for the Durham stock and 40.8 ± 0.18ºC for the Cambridge stock.

Functional mitochondrial respiration is essential for glioblastoma tumour growth [PDF]

Horizontal transfer of mitochondria from the tumour microenvironment to cancer cells to support proliferation and enhance tumour progression has been shown for various types of cancer in recent years. Glioblastoma, the most aggressive adult brain tumour,

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Strategies for maximizing ATP supply in the microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi: direct binding of mitochondria to the parasitophorous vacuole and clustering of the mitochondrial porin VDAC [PDF]

, 2013
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites with extremely reduced genomes and a dependence on host-derived ATP. The microsporidium Encephalitozoon cuniculi proliferates within a membranous vacuole and we investigated how the ATP supply is ...

Re‐Purposing Sapropterin (Kuvan) for ACTA2‐Related Multisystemic Smooth Muscle Dysfunction Syndrome: A Translational Mechanistic and First‐In‐Human Therapeutic Report

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome (MSMDS) is an ultra‐rare, ACTA2‐related disorder characterized by severe cerebrovascular disease, aortic aneurysms, and smooth muscle dysfunction. Using molecular dynamics simulations and in silico drug screening, we identified that sapropterin dihydrochloride (Kuvan) is a candidate capable of ...

Heightened mitochondrial respiration in CF cells is normalised by triple CFTR modulator therapy through mechanisms involving calcium

Heliyon
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with increased resting energy expenditure. However, the introduction of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) has resulted in a paradigm shift in nutritional status for many people with CF, with increase ...

The methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine prevents liver hypoxia and dysregulation of mitochondrial bioenergetic function in a rat model of alcohol-induced fatty liver disease

Redox Biology, 2016
Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction and bioenergetic stress play an important role in the etiology of alcoholic liver disease. Previous studies from our laboratory show that the primary methyl donor S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) minimizes alcohol-induced ...

Non‐Additive Criteria Assessment in Sustainability Evaluation of High Entropy Alloys: A Toxicity‐Weighted Framework

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Sustainability assessment requires methodologies that appropriately distinguish between additive and non‐additive material properties. A toxicity‐weighted scoring system is developed and applied that accounts for the disproportionate influence of highly toxic constituents through nonlinear weighting functions, providing more realistic estimates than ...
