D-allose reprogrammes the mitophagy–mtDNA–cGAS–STING–ADM2 axis to restore nucleus pulposus cell homeostasis in intervertebral disc degeneration

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is driven by progressive loss of nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) homeostasis, yet the stress-responsive mechanisms governing this process remain incompletely defined. Here, we identify a mitochondrial stress-innate immune signalling axis in whi...

Alcohol reshapes liver zonal plasticity and immune-metabolic reprogramming in metabolic-syndrome associated hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) commonly arises in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), alcohol-related liver disease (ALD), and metabolic dysfunction-associated ALD (MetALD), yet how zonal metabolic programs govern tumor lineage and immune responses remains un...
