The cell biology of mitochondrial membrane dynamics

TL;DR: How bioenergetics and cellular signalling are linked to dynamic changes of mitochondrial morphology is described, with morphological changes to mitochondria accompanying a multitude of processes as diverse as cell pluripotency, division, differentiation, senescence and death.

Methionine metabolism regulates maintenance and differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells

TL;DR: It is shown that human ESCs/iPSCs require high amounts of methionine (Met) and express high levels of enzymes involved in Met metabolism, and SAM is a key regulator for maintaining undifferentiated pluripotent stem cells and regulating their differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial dynamics in postmitotic cells regulate neurogenesis

TL;DR: Shortly after cortical stem cells have divided, daughter cells destined to self-renew undergo mitochondrial fusion, whereas those that retain high levels of mitochondria fission become neurons, revealing a postmitotic period of fate plasticity in which mitochondrial dynamics are linked with cell fate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondria as Signaling Organelles Control Mammalian Stem Cell Fate.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on key conceptual ideas on how mitochondria control mammalian stem cell fate and function through reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, TCA cycle metabolite production, NAD+/NADH ratio regulation, pyruvate metabolism, and mitochondrial dynamics.

Understanding the Warburg Effect: The Metabolic Requirements of Cell Proliferation

TL;DR: It is proposed that the metabolism of cancer cells, and indeed all proliferating cells, is adapted to facilitate the uptake and incorporation of nutrients into the biomass needed to produce a new cell.

ROS Function in Redox Signaling and Oxidative Stress

TL;DR: It is argued that redox biology, rather than oxidative stress, underlies physiological and pathological conditions.

Stem Cells and Niches: Mechanisms That Promote Stem Cell Maintenance throughout Life

TL;DR: Niches are local tissue microenvironments that maintain and regulate stem cells that are key to the regulation of homeostasis and likely contribute to aging and tumorigenesis when altered during adulthood.

ATP-Citrate Lyase Links Cellular Metabolism to Histone Acetylation

TL;DR: It is found that ACL is required for increases in histone acetylation in response to growth factor stimulation and during differentiation, and that glucose availability can affect hist one acetylations in an ACL-dependent manner.

Mitochondrial transcription factor A is necessary for mtDNA maintenance and embryogenesis in mice

TL;DR: The mouse gene for mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam), formerly known as m-mtTFA, is disrupted by gene targetting of loxP-sites followed by cre-mediated excision in vivo and is the first mammalian protein demonstrated to regulate mtDNA copy number in vivo.
