Evidence accumulated mitochondria, as the "powerplants of the cell," express several functional receptors for external ligands that modify their function and regulate cell biology. This review sheds new light on the role of these organelles in sensing external stimuli to facilitate energy production for cellular needs. This is possible because mitochondria express some receptors on their membranes that are responsible for their autonomous responses.

The beneficial impact of gut microbiota on human health has encouraged studies on factors modulating it. Among the different factors, diet plays a vital role in this area. Many studies on animals and humans have been concerned with the effects of fermented milk products on gut microbiota and how they relate to health benefits.

In the cytoplasm, acetyl-CoA is mainly produced by ATP-citrate lyase (ACL), which is composed of ACLA and ACLB subunits. In this study, we isolated the restorer-4 (res4) of the thermosensitive genic male sterile mutant reversible male sterile-2 (rvms-2) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a significant brain disease with a high mortality and disability rate. Additional therapies for AIS are urgently needed, and neuroplasticity mechanisms by agents are expected to be neuroprotective for AIS. As a major active component of Salvia miltiorrhiza, salvianolic acid A (SAA) has shown potential for preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Modulating metabolic pathways in activated microglia can alter their phenotype, which is relevant in uncontrolled neuroinflammation as a component of various neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we investigated how pretreatment with agmatine, an endogenous polyamine, affects metabolic changes in an in vitro model of neuroinflammation, a murine microglial BV-2 cell line exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Hence, we analyzed gene expression using qPCR and protein levels using Western blot and ELISA.
