Metabolic Crossroads: AMDHD2 Couples the Hexosamine Biosynthetic Pathway to Acetyl-CoA Homeostasis in Pluripotent Stem Cells

Pluripotent stem cells (SCs) rely on metabolic rewiring to regulate self-renewal and differentiation. The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) integrates multiple metabolic inputs to produce uridine ...

Our new paper is out in @science.org! By exploring the rich genetic diversity of Brazil, we show how fine-scale genomic analyses reveal that this diversity, rooted in Indigenous ancestry and centuries of complex demographic history, plays a key role in population health.

Resilience and restoration from fasting-refeeding mediated by a nutrient-regulated linker histone

Intermittent fasting and fasting-refeeding regimens can slow biological aging across taxa[1][1]. Shifts between fed and fasted states activate ancient nutrient-sensing pathways which alter cellular an...
