Scientists find hidden protein that powers cellular energy, helps fight cancer.
Scientists at Duke University have discovered that the protein ALDH4A1 plays a crucial role in cellular energy production and cancer prevention. It stabilizes the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), allowing energy-generating pyruvate to enter mitochondria. Without ALDH4A1, cells switch to inefficient, cancer-associated metabolism. Targeting this protein may open new cancer therapy paths.
