Targeting cancer metabolism: a therapeutic window opens [PDF]
Genetic events in cancer activate signalling pathways that alter cell metabolism. Clinical evidence has linked cell metabolism with cancer outcomes. Together, these observations have raised interest in targeting metabolic enzymes for cancer therapy, but ...

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase in Sepsis
The word sepsis was derived from the Greek word: sepsis, which means the state of putrefaction or decay. Sepsis is a potentially deadly medical condition that is characterized by a whole-body inflammatory state, called a systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and the presence of a known or suspected infection.

Melatonin and the Dental Pulp: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Background In general medicine, melatonin is known to enhance wound healing and promote stem cell differentiation. Its potential relevance in endodontics, however, remains underexplored. Objectives This scoping review aimed to systematically assess the available evidence on the effects of melatonin (a) on dental pulp tissue and (b) on human ...

A critical role of autophagy in antileukemia/lymphoma effects of APO866, an inhibitor of NAD biosynthesis. [PDF]
APO866, an inhibitor of NAD biosynthesis, exhibits potent antitumor properties in various malignancies. Recently, it has been shown that APO866 induces apoptosis and autophagy in human hematological cancer cells, but the role of autophagy in APO866 ...

Matrix Rigidity Regulates Cancer Cell Growth by Modulating Cellular Metabolism and Protein Synthesis [PDF]
Background: Tumor cells in vivo encounter diverse types of microenvironments both at the site of the primary tumor and at sites of distant metastases. Understanding how the various mechanical properties of these microenvironments affect the biology of ...

Metabolic Dependencies in Pancreatic Cancer. [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a highly lethal cancer with a long-term survival rate under 10%. Available cytotoxic chemotherapies have significant side effects, and only marginal therapeutic efficacy. FDA approved drugs currently used against

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide extends the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans mediated by sir-2.1 and daf-16 [PDF]
It is well understood that sir2 (sirtuin), an NAD-dependent deacetylase, is essential for the extension of lifespan under caloric restriction. However, the mechanism underlying activation of sir2 is unclear.

Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase regulates cell survival through autophagy in cardiomyocytes [PDF]
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) acts as a transfer molecule for electrons, thereby acting as a key cofactor for energy production. NAD(+) also serves as a substrate for cellular enzymes, including poly (ADPribose) polymerase (PARP)-1 and Sirt1.
