This study shows ATF4 coordinates transcriptomic and structural changes in aging muscle, linking it to mitochondrial dysfunction and suggesting the ISR pathway as a therapeutic target.

This study examines cytokine and chemokine receptor expression in adipose tissue endothelial cells of HIV-positive individuals, identifying receptor differences and their potential role in vascular dysfunction.

This study investigates age-related changes in mitochondrial structure and function in the liver, identifying MICOS complex dysregulation as a contributor to metabolic and structural impairments.

This study identifies glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling in myeloid cells as a key contributor to salt-sensitive hypertension (SSBP) through SGK1 and IsoLG pathways, distinct from mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) mechanisms.

This paper provides validated dietary strategies to modulate zinc homeostasis in mice and outlines methods to assess zinc status, enhancing reproducibility in disease-related studies.

This study identifies structural and metabolic changes in human heart failure using SBF-SEM and metabolomic analyses.
