Loss of STARD7 Triggers Metabolic Reprogramming and Cell Cycle Arrest in Breast Cancer
Breast cancer cells undergo metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming to support aberrant cell proliferation. Their mitochondria rely on the transfer of phosphatidylcholine from the endoplasmic reticulum to their membranes by STARD7, a candidate upregulated in breast cancer, to be functional.

Mitochondrial Regulation of CD8⁺ T Cells: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Modulation
This article comprehensively explores the pivotal role of mitochondrial function in CD8⁺ T cell immunotherapy. It highlights how mitochondrial dynamics regulate T cell activation, differentiation, and persistence, and how mitochondrial dysfunction leads to immune exhaustion and impaired antitumor/antiviral responses.

Autophagy‐Mediated Suppression of Tumor Growth by Food‐Grade Lipid Nanoparticles in Mice
This work reveals a novel extracellular nanoparticle transport and metabolic pathway. Following cellular uptake, Food‐grade lipid nanoparticles (FLNs) selectively fuse with lipid droplets (LDs) rather than lysosomes, driving LDs accumulation. This process activates autophagy through the AMPK‐mTOR‐ULK1 signaling axis, facilitating tumor progression ...

Senescent nucleus pulposus cells drive inflammatory M1 macrophage polarization, exacerbating intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Conversely, M1 macrophages accelerate NP cell senescence, creating a vicious cycle. iPSCs‐derived mesenchymal stem cell (iMSCs) exosomes break this loop by delivering miR‐100‐5p to suppress mTORC1/glycolysis in ...

By catalyzing FAM134B ubiquitination and activating ER‐phagy, AMFR alleviates progressive fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction by inhibiting the mTORC1 pathway. Consequently, these findings underscore the essential role of AMFR‐driven ER‐phagy in mitigating the progression of fibrotic responses, offering a potential therapeutic target for preventing heart ...

Arginine deficiency accelerates androgenetic alopecia. Serum metabolome shows reduced circulating arginine, while local metabolic disruption depletes follicular reserves, triggering reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mTOR suppression that induce hair miniaturization.
