Copper in cancer: friend or foe? Metabolism, dysregulation, and therapeutic opportunities
Abstract Copper, one of the essential nutrients for the human body, acts as an electron relay in multiple pathways due to its redox properties. Both deficiencies and excesses of copper lead to cellular fragility. Therefore, it can manifest pro‐ and anti‐cancer properties in tumors. Therefore, it is crucial to clarify the copper activity within the cell.

One-step screening method for the polymorphism of apolipoproteins A-I, A-II, and A-IV
Apolipoprotein A-I exhibits a polymorphism that can be easily investigated in native serum by a simple method involving incubation of serum in the presence of decylsulfate and beta-mercaptoethanol and subsequent isoelectric focusing.

Modeling Interconnected Modules in Multivariate Outcomes: Evaluating the Impact of Alcohol Intake on Plasma Metabolomics [PDF]
Alcohol consumption has been shown to influence cardiovascular mechanisms in humans, leading to observable alterations in the plasma metabolomic profile. Regression models are commonly employed to investigate these effects, treating metabolomics features as the outcomes and alcohol intake as the exposure. Given the latent dependence structure among the

Serotonergic modulators in Alzheimer's disease: a hope in the hopeless condition
Alzheimer disease (AD) is the main cause of dementia worldwide. AD is a progressive brain neurodegenerative disease due to genetic and environmental factors that induce a progressive accumulation of intracellular hyperphosphorylated tau protein and extracellular amyloid protein (Aβ).

Lipid Metabolism and Immune Function: Chemical Tools for Insights into T‐Cell Biology
This review explores how lipids regulate immune responses, particularly in T‐cell function. Advances in metabolomics and proteomics provide insights into lipid‐mediated immunity. Fluorescent lipids enable single‐cell analysis of lipid uptake and metabolism.

Surface pressure-dependent conformation change of apolipoprotein-derived amphipathic α-helices
Amphipathic α-helices (AαH) are the primary structural motif of exchangeable apolipoproteins. AαHs in exchangeable apolipoproteins adsorb, remodel, and desorb at the surface of plasma lipoproteins in response to changes in their size or composition.
