Beyond Energy: How Mitochondrial Metabolites Control Immunity, Stem Cells, and Cancer Risk

Mitochondrial metabolites—acetyl-CoA, α-ketoglutarate, itaconate, succinate, and fumarate—function as master regulators of immune tolerance, stem cell fate, and tumor suppression, not…

Plants Send Electrical SOS Signals Using Human Neurotransmitter Glutamate

Plants use glutamate, the same neurotransmitter found in human brains, to send rapid electrical distress signals when damaged. New research…
