Article Abstract
Together, Nobel Prize honoured work, mathematics, physics and the laws of nature have drawn a concept of clockwise cycling carboxylic acids in Krebs' Citric Acid Cycle. A Citric Acid Cycle complex is defined by specific substrate, product and regulation. Recently, the Citric Acid Cycle 1.1 complex was introduced as an NAD-regulated cycle with the substrate, lactic acid and the product, malic acid. Here, we introduce the concept of the Citric Acid Cycle 2.1 complex as an FAD-regulated cycle with the substrate, malic acid and the products, succinic acid or citric acid. The function of the Citric Acid Cycle 2.1 complex is to balance stress situations within the cell. We propose that the biological function of Citric Acid Cycle 2.1 in muscles is to accelerate recovery of ATP; whereas in white tissue adipocytes our testing of the theoretical concept led to the storage of energy as lipids.

A dynamically crosslinked network VEC (vulcanized ESO and CA) was synthesized in situ via zinc acetate-catalyzed epoxy ring-opening between epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and anhydrous citric acid (CA), then incorporated into polylactic acid (PLA)/polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) blends to enhance interfacial compatibility. The dynamic ester-exchange network acted as an intermediate phase, improving the integration of the flexible PBAT phase within the rigid PLA matrix. VEC content critically influenced mechanical properties, with in-situ crosslinking during dynamic vulcanization enhancing chain interactions and blend homogeneity.

A sustainable and energy-efficient method was developed to extract bioactive compounds from black cardamom (Amomum subulatum) using microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) with Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES). Six NADES composed of choline chloride, lactic acid, citric acid, glucose, and sucrose were prepared by heating and stirring. Lact:Suc and Lact:Gluc, showed the highest extraction efficiencies.

Reduced mitochondrial quality and quantity in tumors is associated with dedifferentiation and increased malignancy. However, it remains unclear how to restore mitochondrial quantity and quality in tumors and whether mitochondrial restoration can drive tumor differentiation. Our study shows that restoring mitochondrial function using retinoic acid (RA) to boost mitochondrial biogenesis and a mitochondrial uncoupler to enhance respiration synergistically drives neuroblastoma differentiation and inhibits proliferation.
