A Novel Purine and Uric Metabolism Signature Predicting the Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma [PDF]
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is regarded as one of the most common cancers in the world with a poor prognosis. Patients with HCC often have abnormal purine and uric acid metabolism, but their relationship with prognosis is unclear.Methods ...

The Role of Purine Metabolism and Uric Acid in Postnatal Neurologic Development [PDF]
This review explores the essential roles of purine metabolism including the catabolic product, uric acid, in the development of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta. The high energy requirements of the substantia nigra pars compacta

Germ-Free Conditions Modulate Host Purine Metabolism, Exacerbating Adenine-Induced Kidney Damage [PDF]
Alterations in microbiota are known to affect kidney disease conditions. We have previously shown that germ-free conditions exacerbated adenine-induced kidney damage in mice; however, the mechanism by which this occurs has not been elucidated. To explore
