Gboxin is an oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor that targets glioblastoma
Cancer-specific inhibitors that reflect the unique metabolic needs of cancer cells are rare. Here we describe Gboxin, a small molecule that specifically inhibits the growth of primary mouse and human glioblastoma cells but not that of mouse embryonic ...

Iron-Induced Oxidative Injury Differentially Regulates PI3K/Akt/GSK3β Pathway in Synaptic Endings from Adult and Aged Rats [PDF]
In this work we study the state of phosphoinositide-3-kinase/Akt/glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (PI3K/Akt/GSK3 beta) signaling during oxidative injury triggered by free iron using cerebral cortex synaptic endings isolated from adult (4-month-old) and ...

A first--order irreversible thermodynamic approach to a simple energy converter
Several authors have shown that dissipative thermal cycle models based on Finite-Time Thermodynamics exhibit loop-shaped curves of power output versus efficiency, such as it occurs with actual dissipative thermal engines.

STAT3, a hub protein of cellular signaling pathways, is triggered by β-hexaclorocyclohexane [PDF]
Background: Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are widely distributed in the environment and their toxicity is mostly associated with the molecular mechanisms of endocrine disruption.

Hypoxia induces mitochondrial protein lactylation to limit oxidative phosphorylation
Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) consumes oxygen to produce ATP. However, the mechanism that balances OXPHOS activity and intracellular oxygen availability remains elusive.

Oxidative Stress Signaling in Blast TBI-Induced Tau Phosphorylation
Traumatic brain injury caused by blast is associated with long-term neuropathological changes including tau phosphorylation and pathology. In this study, we aimed to determine changes in initial tau phosphorylation after exposure to a single mild blast ...

Is There a Link between Mitochondrial Reserve Respiratory Capacity and Aging?
Oxidative phosphorylation is an indispensable resource of ATP in tissues with high requirement of energy. If the ATP demand is not met, studies suggest that this will lead to senescence and cell death in the affected tissue.

Cancer Stem Cells in Small Cell Lung Cancer Cell Line H446: Higher Dependency on Oxidative Phosphorylation and Mitochondrial Substrate-Level Phosphorylation than Non-Stem Cancer Cells. [PDF]
Recently, targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) metabolism is becoming a promising therapeutic approach to improve cancer treatment outcomes. However, knowledge of the metabolic state of CSCs in small cell lung cancer is still lacking.
