Mitochondrial NADK, a Novel Functional Mediator of Tau Toxicity in Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
Abstract Tau was first described in a 1975 PNAS paper from Marc Kirschner's lab as a brain protein that stimulates the polymerization of tubulin into microtubules (https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.72.5.1858). Unbeknown at that time was the fact that tau is the building block of neurofibrillary tangles, and a central player in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer ...

Knockdown of NADK promotes LUAD ferroptosis via NADPH/FSP1 axis [PDF]
Abstract Background Lung cancer is a serious threat to human health and is the first leading cause of cancer death. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered form of programmed cell death associated with redox homeostasis, is of particular interest in the lung cancer, given the high oxygen environment of lung cancer.

Differential expression of NADK in cancer of the skin: malignant melanoma.
Skin cancer is diagnosed in nearly 1.5 million patients each year (1). While patients with basal and squamous cell carcinomas are provided with 5-year survival rates at nearly 100% and 90%, respectively, patients diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma (metastatic melanoma) are provided 5-year survival rates at 91.4% at stage I and 24.6% at stage IV (2-5 ...

Adipose tissue macrophage-derived miR-690 modulates adipocyte precursor cell maintenance and adipogenesis [PDF]
Obesity is intricately linked to various metabolic diseases; however, some individuals maintain metabolic health despite being classified as obese. A critical factor underlying this paradox is the expansion of white adipose tissue (WAT), which can occur ...

Transcriptional Isoforms of NAD+ kinase regulate oxidative stress resistance and melanoma metastasis [PDF]
Metastasizing cancer cells encounter a multitude of stresses throughout the metastatic cascade. Oxidative stress is known to be a major barrier for metastatic colonization, such that metastasizing cancer cells must rewire their metabolic pathways to ...

Phenylalanine-mediated reprogramming of lipid, pentose phosphate, and energy metabolism delays senescence in Rosa roxburghii fruit [PDF]
Although phenylalanine can inhibit fruit senescence, its effects on Rosa roxburghii remain unknown. We hypothesized that it delays senescence by modulating fatty acid metabolism, maintaining energy homeostasis, and supporting pentose phosphate pathways ...
