Investigation Of Phosphoserine Aminotransferase 1 And Its Role In Breast Cancer Progression
Metastasis and endocrine resistance are two factors that complicate therapeutic intervention in breast cancer patients and lead to poorer overall survival. Metastasis is known to be responsible for 90% of cancer related deaths, and is especially prevalent in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC); while endocrine resistance can ...

Targeting PSAT1 to mitigate metastasis in tumors with p53-72Pro variant
The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of p53, in particular the codon 72 variants, has recently been implicated as a critical regulator in tumor progression. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive.

Cancer metabolism: Addicted to serine. [PDF]
Cancer cells are biosynthetic factories that gear multiple metabolic pathways toward cell growth and proliferation. Serine is the metabolite consumed third most by cancer cells, after glucose and glutamine, and is used as a building block for proteins ...

Multi-Omics Analyses Detail Metabolic Reprogramming in Lipids, Carnitines, and Use of Glycolytic Intermediates between Prostate Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma and Prostate Adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
As the most common cancer in men, prostate cancer is molecularly heterogeneous. Contributing to this heterogeneity are the poorly understood metabolic adaptations of the two main types of prostate cancer, i.e., adenocarcinoma and small cell ...

Nitrogen Scavengers: History, Clinical Considerations and Future Prospects. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nitrogen scavengers play a critical role in treating acute and chronic hyperammonemia, especially in urea cycle disorders (UCDs), where impaired ammonia detoxification leads to toxic nitrogen accumulation. These agents complement low‐protein diets and urea cycle intermediates.
