Nature research paper: Mitochondrial l-2-hydroxyglutarate is a physiological signalling metabolite

Very happy to share our new paper. Together with our wonderful collaborators, we found that L-2-HG, a metabolite often viewed as “toxic,” also has an essential physiological function in mice. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Now online! Mitochondrial activity tunes nociceptor resilience to excitotoxicity
It’s been a tough few weeks. My 10yo daughter was diagnosed with a very rare, aggressive cancer called interdigitating dendritic cell sarcoma (IDCS). I’m reaching out to identify clinicians/patients who have encountered pediatric IDCS or other (non-LCH) dendritic or histiocytic sarcomas cases.

Nature Metabolism, Published online: 08 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s42255-026-01530-yMetformin is shown to exert its glucose-lowering and additional clinical effects through inhibition of mitochondrial complex I in the intestinal epithelium in mice.
Our study reveals that L-2-hydroxyglutarate (L-2-HG), a metabolite often labeled as “toxic,” also has an essential physiological function in mice.

l-2-Hydroxyglutarate is identified as a legitimate physiological signalling metabolite, and control of its levels is essential for postnatal growth and survival and correct renal development and function.

Excitation enables neuronal function; however, overexcitation and calcium overload can be deadly. This study reveals a cellular resilience program in which reduced expression of electron transport chain components protects against excitotoxic death, as seen in pain-sensing primary afferent neurons (nociceptors).
