Physiological media and oxygen levels modulate cancer hallmarks in cultured breast cancer cells
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.MCF7 breast cancer cells were cultured in standard conditions (18% O2 and DMEM) and physiological conditions (5% O2 and Plasmax, a medium modeled after the human plasma metabolome). A combined transcriptomic and proteomic approach was used to identify gene expression signatures at the mRNA and protein levels upstream of functional enrichment analyses ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Benefits of performing physical exercise at moderate altitude. At moderate altitude, increased resting metabolic rate and physical exertion promote physical fitness and exercise tolerance, whereas hypoxia suppresses appetite and elicits adaptations that increase tissue O2 delivery while augmenting O2‐independent ATP production ...

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2026.NDRG1 suppresses pancreatic cancer progression by disrupting small extracellular vesicle biogenesis, altering cargo composition, and inhibiting EV uptake by cancer cells—thereby impairing tumour–stroma communication and fibrotic activation. This study reveals NDRG1 as a novel regulator of extracellular vesicle dynamics and a promising therapeutic ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4528-4545, July 2026.ABSTRACT Protoberberine alkaloids are a characteristic group of natural products in Coptis plants known for their notable pharmacological activities. However, the structural similarity and the substrate promiscuity of their biosynthetic enzymes have left the precise synthetic pathways remain unclarified, posing challenges to regulate product formation.
