Metabolism and signaling crosstalk in glioblastoma progression and therapy resistance

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView., 2023
Glioblastoma is one of the most lethal human cancers with no effective treatment nowadays. Here, we review the increasing amount of evidence supporting the connection between cell signaling deregulation and metabolic reprogramming as a key event in glioblastoma resistance to cancer therapy.

Environmentally-Extended Input-Output analyses efficiently sketch large-scale environmental transition plans -- illustration by Canada's road industry [PDF]

Journal of Cleaner Production, Elsevier, 2023, 136039, 2023
Industries struggle to build robust environmental transition plans as they lack the tools to quantify their ecological responsibility over their value chain. Companies mostly turn to sole greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting or time-intensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), while Environmentally-Extended Input-Output (EEIO) analysis is more efficient ...
