This study shows that lactate can be directly imported into mitochondria and oxidized to support cardiac energy production, independent of the pyruvate carrier.

This study compares the effects of tirzepatide and caloric restriction on hematopoiesis in obese mice, finding tirzepatide preserves HSPC cycling and reduces inflammatory monocytes while CR causes cytopenias.

The paper identifies aliphatic-to-threonine substitutions as a conserved adaptation in mitochondrial membrane proteins that balances hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity requirements.

This study identifies SLC16A6 as the melanosomal tyrosine transporter, showing it is essential for melanosome biogenesis and function.

The paper identifies lineage-specifying transcription factors that directly control metabolism to ensure cell function.
