Efficient DNA repair might make possible the longevity of naked mole-rats. However, whether they have distinctive mechanisms to optimize functions of DNA repair suppressors is unclear. We find that na...

We appoint researchers from across biology and biomedicine to set up their first groups at the Crick.

Background The coupling of oxygen consumption to ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is central for cellular energy homeostasis. Some studies suggest exercise training increases the...

Malignant tumors are characterized by diverse metabolic stresses, including nutrient shortages, hypoxia, and buildup of metabolic by-products. To understand how cancer cells adapt to such challenges, ...

Cytosolic nucleic acid–sensing pathways are potential targets for cancer immunotherapy. Although stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists have shown substantial antitumor effects in animal mode...

Mitochondrial synthesis of adenosine triphosphate is essential for eukaryotic life but is dependent on the cooperation of two genomes: nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). mtDNA mutates ~15 times as...

About EMBL-EBI EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute is a data powerhouse, utilised on a global scale to advance scientific discovery through bioinformatics and solutions to some of the world’s mos...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a conserved multi-step cellular program that plays an essential role across a range of biological processes. This review covers the roles and states of EMT i...

Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 06 October 2025; doi:10.1038/s41574-025-01187-9This Review explores the translation of senotherapeutics into clinical practice for metabolic disorders. The authors discuss the relationship between metabolic disorders and cellular senescence, current and emerging therapies, and the challenges of translating senotherapeutics into clinical practice for metabolic disorders.

This study reveals how cardiolipin governs mitochondrial morphology by modulating the activity of human OPA1 and how its replacement by monolyso-cardiolipin, as observed in Barth syndrome, impacts mitochondrial membrane-shaping mechanisms.

Saber et al. show that the lipase DDHD2 provides endogenous saturated fatty acids to support fatty acid oxidation and energy production, proteostasis and membrane trafficking balance.

Genome-wide association analyses of 249 circulating small molecules and lipoprotein characteristics across the allele frequency spectrum in UK Biobank advance understanding of genes and pathways regulating human metabolism.
