referenceUCP2 regulates energy metabolism and differentiation potential in human pluripotent stem cells, according to Zhang et al. in The EMBO Journal in 2011.

referenceThe research community is currently investigating several key questions regarding stem cell homeostasis: (i) Does mitochondrial impairment affect stem cell function in vivo, and can stem cells be a therapeutic target for diseases causing mitochondrial dysfunction? (ii) Is it possible to modulate cell fate identity only through metabolic-related changes, and are these mechanisms relevant in vivo? (iii) Can the relationship between energy metabolism, cellular proliferation, and mitochondrial dynamics be untangled? (iv) What is the importance of calcium balance for cell fate plasticity? (v) How can redox homeostasis be effectively targeted to enhance stem cell function and improve efficient differentiation?

referenceVarum et al. (2011) investigated the differences in energy metabolism between human pluripotent stem cells and their differentiated counterparts.

claimIntra-mitochondrial calcium positively affects energy metabolism by stimulating ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

claimUnder high light conditions, mitochondria enable indigo plants to maintain a high level of energy metabolism and promote growth and development by affecting miRNAs (Zhao et al., 2024a).

claimZhao et al. (2024a) identified a potential mechanism where miRNA mediates the response to light intensity in the energy metabolism of Isatis indigotica.

claimYang P. et al. (2020) investigated the effects of light intensity on the material and energy metabolism of Viola yedoensis.

claimInsufficient sleep disrupts the balance of hormones that control appetite, energy metabolism, and glucose processing.

claimDuring sleep, the human body secretes hormones that regulate appetite, energy metabolism, and glucose processing; insufficient sleep disrupts the balance of these hormones.

claimRedundant mitochondrial DNA provides a reserve capacity that can reduce the impact of mutations on energy metabolism, according to Miller et al. (2003).

referenceLife is generally defined as an open system characterized by energy metabolism, stimulus-response compatibility, and self-reproduction, as cited by Abel (2011).
