RAGE Re‐Expressed at Myofibre Level Drives Muscle Wasting in Cancer Conditions
ABSTRACT Background Cancer cachexia (CC) is a highly debilitating syndrome characterized by loss of body and muscle weight affecting most advanced cancer patients. The receptor for advanced glycation end‐products (RAGE) is expressed by several cell types and sustains the inflammatory response in acute and chronic diseases. Total ablation of RAGE (Ager−/

Oxidative Stress and DNA Epigenetic Modifications in Cancer: Mechanisms and Targeted Therapeutics
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulate DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), ten‐eleven translocation family proteins (TETs) and their cofactors, reshaping 5‐methylcytosine (5mC)/5‐hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)/5‐formylcytosine (5fC) landscapes and gene expression in cancer cells. In turn, epigenetic control of antioxidant and metabolic pathways feeds back on

A Potential Role for the Interaction of Wolbachia Surface Proteins with the Brugia malayi Glycolytic Enzymes and Cytoskeleton in Maintenance of Endosymbiosis [PDF]
The human filarial parasite Brugia malayi harbors an endosymbiotic bacterium of the genus Wolbachia. The Wolbachia represent an attractive target for the control of filarial induced disease as elimination of the bacteria affects molting, reproduction and

Oxidative Stress in the Tumor Immune Microenvironment: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives
Oxidative stress is involved in several key processes in cancer, including redox regulation, DNA damage, post‐translational modifications, transcriptional regulation, epigenetic modifications, metabolic reprogramming, cell death, and immune modulation. These mechanisms collectively influence tumor progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic responses,

NIBAN2/FLII/RREB1 Axis Drives Glioma Stem Cell Malignancy via TLR3 Pathway Activation
NIBAN2, highly expressed in glioma stem‐like cells (GSCs), assembles with FLII and transcription factor RREB1 to form a nuclear complex. This complex transcriptionally activates stemness‐associated genes (e.g., CD44, NANOG) and metabolic enzymes (e.g., LDHA), thereby sustaining both transcriptional and metabolic stemness programs.

Engineering a Synthetic Formatotrophic Yeast With Enhanced Growth Capacity on Formate
Engineering Yeast for Growth on Formate and Methanol via Serine‐Centered C1 Coupling. By engineering serine metabolism and remodeling the rGly pathway, we rendered yeast growth strictly dependent on formate. This synthetic formatotrophy enables growth on dual‐C1 substrates by channeling formate into the central metabolism via serine deaminases and ...

Quantitative constraint-based computational model of tumor-to-stroma coupling via lactate shuttle
Cancer cells utilize large amounts of ATP to sustain growth, relying primarily on non-oxidative, fermentative pathways for its production. In many types of cancers this leads, even in the presence of oxygen, to the secretion of carbon equivalents ...

Proteomic and Super‐Resolution Analyses of Murine Brown Adipocyte‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Thermogenic brown adipocytes (BAs) are not only an energy sink but also regulate systemic metabolic health through secreted factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs). Here, we investigate the baseline profiles BA‐EVs and how cold‐induced thermogenesis alters the proteome of BA‐EVs.
