The paper shows cancer cells use a proton gradient from lactate export to drive ATP production via plasma membrane-localized ATP synthases, resolving the Warburg effect's energetic inefficiency.

This paper proposes a thermoregulatory theory linking endothermy to reduced regenerative capacity in mammals and birds, suggesting that calcium signaling in thermogenic systems inhibits tissue repair.

This study shows that TET family ablation in retinal progenitor cells impairs photoreceptor development and causes blindness due to DNA methylation defects.

This study identifies Eph receptor activation in postnatal mouse retinas and shows its correlation with traumatic optic neuropathy onset and neuroprotective effects upon inhibition.
