    Disease-causing stomach bug attacks energy generation in host cells

    " Researchers report in a new study that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori - a major contributor to gastritis, ulcers and stomach cancer—resists the body's immune defenses by shutting down energy production within the cells of the stomach lining that serve as a barrier to infection. " The human...

    Abolition of mitochondrial substrate-level phosphorylation by itaconic acid produced by LPS-induced Irg1 expression in cells, 2015, Chinopoulos et al

    I think this might be of interest to us but really it's so technical I'm out of my depth. What caught my attention was recalling that this recent study claimed that itaconate is an anti-inflammatory metabolite (recent forum thread on the study here) and reading the Wikipedia article that...
