Article Abstract
Mitochondrial network architecture, which is closely related to mitochondrial function, is mechanically sensitive and regulated by multiple stimuli. However, the effects of microtopographic cues on mitochondria remain poorly defined. Herein, polycaprolactone (PCL) surfaces were used as models to investigate how micropatterns regulate mitochondrial network architecture and function in rat adipose-derived stem cells (rASCs). It was found that large pit (LP)-induced rASCs to form larger and more complex mitochondrial networks. Consistently, the expression of key genes related to mitochondrial dynamics revealed that mitochondrial fusion (MFN1 and MFN2) and midzone fission (DRP1 and MFF) were increased in rASCs on LP. In contrast, the middle pit (MP)-enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis, as evidenced by the larger mitochondrial area and higher expression of PGC-1. Both LP and MP promoted ATP production in rASCs. It is likely that LP increased ATP levels through modulating mitochondrial network architecture while MP stimulated mitochondria biogenesis to do so. Our study clarified the regulation of micropatterned surfaces on mitochondria, highlighting the potential of LP and MP as a simple platform to stimulate mitochondria and the subsequent cellular function of MSCs.

Mitochondria continually undergo fission to maintain their network and health. Nascent fission sites are marked by the ER, which facilitates actin polymerization to drive calcium flux into the mitochondrion and constrict the inner mitochondrial membrane. Septins are a major eukaryotic cytoskeleton component that forms filaments that can both directly and indirectly modulate other cytoskeleton components, including actin.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a lethal salivary gland malignant neoplasm. Lung metastasis is the primary cause of mortality in ACC patients while there is no effective treatment available at present. In this study, a precise and biomimetic nanoplatform, CG/MC/U-M, is designed to combine cuproptosis, gas therapy and immunotherapy against metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, significantly contributing to frailty, disability, and mortality in aging populations. As life expectancy rises, sarcopenia presents a growing public health challenge, increasing healthcare costs, and diminishing quality of life. Despite its prevalence, sarcopenia is often underdiagnosed due to limitations in current diagnostic tools, including the lack of standardized cut-off values and reliance on physical performance tests.

The bioenergetic machinery of the cell is protected and structured within two layers of mitochondrial membranes. The mitochondrial inner membrane is extremely rich in proteins, including respiratory chain complexes, substrate transport proteins, ion exchangers, and structural fusion proteins. These proteins participate directly or indirectly in shaping the membrane's curvature and facilitating its folding, as well as promoting the formation of nanotubes, and proton-rich pockets known as cristae.
