This review consolidates a decade of research on fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase domain containing protein 1 (FAHD1), a mitochondrial oxaloacetate tautomerase and decarboxylase with profound implications in cellular metabolism. Despite its critical role as a regulator in mitochondrial metabolism, FAHD1 has remained an often-overlooked enzyme in broader discussions of mitochondrial function. After more than 12 years of research, it is increasingly clear that FAHD1's contributions to cellular metabolism, oxidative stress regulation, and disease processes such as cancer and aging warrant recognition in both textbooks and comprehensive reviews.

Article Synopsis
  • UV irradiation can lead to mutations that increase the risk of skin cancers, such as melanoma, with high doses causing inflammation and acute sunburn characterized by cell death.
  • This study focused on Langerhans cells (LC) in the skin, investigating their role in the immune response following intense UVB exposure in mice.
  • Findings revealed that LC activation was linked to increased inflammation and programmed cell death in damaged skin cells, highlighting their importance in managing UV-induced skin damage and potential cancer risk.

Background: Tumor-targeted therapy causes impressive tumor regression, but the emergence of resistance limits long-term survival benefits in patients. Little information is available on the role of the myeloid cell network, especially dendritic cells (DC) during tumor-targeted therapy.

Methods: Here, we investigated therapy-mediated immunological alterations in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and tumor-draining lymph nodes (LN) in the D4M.

Inherited cardiovascular diseases are highly heterogeneous conditions with multiple genetic loci involved. The application of advanced molecular tools, such as Next Generation Sequencing, has facilitated the genetic analysis of these disorders. Accurate analysis and variant identification are required to maximize the quality of the sequencing data.
