Nifuroxazide rescues the deleterious effects due to CHCHD10-associated MICOS defects in disease models.

The identification of a point mutation (p.Ser59Leu) in the CHCHD10 gene was the first genetic evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction can trigger motor neuron disease. Since then, we have shown that this mutation leads to the disorganization of the MItochondrial contact site and Cristae Organizing System (MICOS) complex that maintains the mitochondrial cristae structure.

Ketogenic diet enhances the anti-cancer effects of PD-L1 blockade in renal cell carcinoma.

Introduction: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by a predominant metabolic reprogramming triggering energy production by anaerobic glycolysis at the expense of oxydative phosphorylation. Ketogenic diet (KD), which consists of high fat and low carbohydrate intake, could bring required energy substrates to healthy cells while depriving tumor cells of glucose. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of KD on renal cancer cell tumor metabolism and growth proliferation.
