In the past decade, evidence for the numerous roles of copper (Cu) in mammalian
physiology has grown exponentially. The discoveries of Cu involvement in cell signaling …

Cuproptosis, a recently identified form of cell death that differs from other forms, is induced
by the disruption of the binding of copper to mitochondrial respiratory acylation components …

Background A recent paper has revealed a novel cell death pathway, cuproptosis, a
programmed cell death based on copper. This study aimed to evaluate the pan-cancer …

Genetic defects in the nuclear encoded subunits and assembly factors of cytochrome c
oxidase (mitochondrial complex IV) are very rare and are associated with a wide variety of …

Heme-copper oxygen reductases are membrane-bound oligomeric complexes that are
integral to prokaryotic and eukaryotic aerobic respiratory chains. Biogenesis of these …

Stem rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum has emerged as one of the major fungal
pathogens of oilseed Brassica across the world. The pathogenic development is exquisitely …

Background Cytochrome c oxidase (COX) is a crucial mitochondrial enzyme in the electron
transport chain of plants, implicated in energy production and stress responses. Despite its …

In photosynthetic organisms, respiration is needed to support metabolism during the night
and in non-photosynthetic tissues, but it also plays a fundamental metabolic role in the light …
