Tumour Cell Size Control and Its Impact on Tumour Cell Function
The regulatory mechanism of the size of tumour cells and its impact on the functions of tumour cells, as well as a summary of potential therapeutic targets for the corresponding mechanisms. ABSTRACT Cell size is an important component of cell morphological characteristics.

Breast Cancer-Derived Lung Metastases Show Increased Pyruvate Carboxylase-Dependent Anaplerosis
Cellular proliferation depends on refilling the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle to support biomass production (anaplerosis). The two major anaplerotic pathways in cells are pyruvate conversion to oxaloacetate via pyruvate carboxylase (PC) and glutamine ...

Targeting Pyruvate Carboxylase by a Small Molecule Suppresses Breast Cancer Progression
Rapid metabolism differentiates cancer cells from normal cells and relies on anaplerotic pathways. However, the mechanisms of anaplerosis‐associated enzymes are rarely understood.

Comparative proteomics analysis of root and nodule mitochondria of soybean
Abstract Legumes perform symbiotic nitrogen fixation through rhizobial bacteroids housed in specialised root nodules. The biochemical process is energy‐intensive and consumes a huge carbon source to generate sufficient reducing power. To maintain the symbiosis, malate is supplied by legume nodules to bacteroids as their major carbon and energy source ...

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) deficiency (PCD), due to biallelic PC variants, is a rare inherited metabolic disease, which is characterized by seizures, global developmental delay, as well as lactic acidosis, and elevated plasma pyruvate and alanine levels ...

ABSTRACT Isoflavones, secondary metabolites with numerous health benefits, are predominantly found in legume seeds, especially soybean; however, their contents in domesticated soybean seeds are highly variable. Wild soybeans are known for higher seed isoflavone contents than cultivars. Here we used experimental and modelling approaches on wild soybean (

The Landscape of Cancer Metabolism as a Therapeutic Target
ABSTRACT Cancer cells reprogram their metabolism during progression to adapt to the tumor microenvironment, which is characterized by distinct differences in nutrient availability, oxygen concentrations, and acidity. This metabolic reprogramming can simultaneously create metabolic vulnerabilities unique to cancer cells, making cancer metabolism a ...

Ketogenic Diet: An Early Option for Epilepsy Treatment, Instead of A Last Choice Only
Ketogenic diet (KD) was usually tried as a last resort in the treatment of intractable epilepsy after failure of many antiepileptics and even epilepsy surgery. Glucose transporter-1 deficiency and pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency must be treated with KD

The multifaceted roles of ketones in physiology
Abstract The production of ketones, referred to as ketogenesis, plays an essential role in maintaining energy homeostasis during prolonged fasting/starvation, which primarily stems from its ability to serve as a fuel source to support neuronal ATP production, thereby limiting muscle wasting. Over the years, the field has come to appreciate that ketones
