Incorporating expression data in metabolic modeling: a case study of lactate dehydrogenase
Integrating biological information from different sources to understand cellular processes is an important problem in systems biology. We use data from mRNA expression arrays and chemical kinetics to formulate a metabolic model relevant to K562 ...

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide Induces Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphatase-1 in Human Endothelial Cells via Rac1 and NAD(P)H Oxidase/Nox2-Activation [PDF]
The cardiovascular hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) exerts anti-inflammatory effects on tumor necrosis factor-α–activated endothelial cells by inducing mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase-1 (MKP-1).

Is acetylation a metabolic rheostat that regulates skeletal muscle insulin action? [PDF]
Skeletal muscle insulin resistance, which increases the risk for developing various metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, is a common metabolic disorder in obesity and aging.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

LMP1 Increases Expression of NADPH Oxidase (NOX) and Its Regulatory Subunit p22 in NP69 Nasopharyngeal Cells and Makes Them Sensitive to a Treatment by a NOX Inhibitor. [PDF]
Oxidative stress is thought to contribute to cancer development. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and its encoded oncoprotein, latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), are closely associated with the transformation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and Burkitt's ...

The emergence of the nicotinamide riboside kinases in the regulation of NAD+ metabolism [PDF]
The concept of replenishing or elevating NAD+availability to combat metabolic disease and ageing is an area of intense research. This has led to a need to define the endogenous regulatory pathways and mechanisms cells and tissues utilise to maximise NAD+availability such that strategies to intervene in the clinical setting are able to be fully realised.
