Characterisation of aerotolerant forms of a robust chicken colonizing Campylobacter coli [PDF]
Campylobacter contaminated poultry meat is a major source of human foodborne illness. Campylobacter coli strain OR12 is a robust colonizer of chickens that was previously shown to outcompete and displace other Campylobacter strains from the chicken’s ...

Regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex: Dancing to different drums in cancer
Abstract Mechanisms governing the regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) are markedly modified in cancer cells compared to normal cells. PDC activity in normal cells is controlled by the reversible phosphorylation of three serine residues by dedicated kinases and phosphatases.

Prostaglandin D2 Synthase Controls Schwann Cells Metabolism and Peripheral Myelin Homeostasis
Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L‐PGDS) controls PPNS myelin lipids’ composition and Schwann cells energetic metabolism In the absence of L‐PGDS Schwann cells turn to acetate as the main energetic source. These metabolic changes result in ketone bodies production to preserve neuronal survival.

Activation of the NRF2 antioxidant program generates an imbalance in central carbon metabolism in cancer [PDF]
During tumorigenesis, the high metabolic demand of cancer cells results in increased production of reactive oxygen species. To maintain oxidative homeostasis, tumor cells increase their antioxidant production through hyperactivation of the NRF2 pathway ...

Summary Plant‐derived oils are essential sources of reduced carbon and various fatty acid (FA) structures for food, biofuels, and the oleochemical industry. Despite extensive efforts, engineering mainstream oilseed crops to produce high levels of industrially valuable unusual FAs (UFAs) remains challenging.

Hyperinsulinism in short-chain L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency reveals the importance of beta-oxidation in insulin secretion [PDF]
A female infant of nonconsanguineous Indian parents presented at 4 months with a hypoglycemic convulsion. Further episodes of hypoketotic hypoglycemia were associated with inappropriately elevated plasma insulin concentrations.

ABSTRACT Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, life‐limiting neuromuscular disorder (NMD) characterized by progressive muscle wasting and mitochondrial dysfunction. Although gene therapies offer promise, even those already approved by regulatory agencies, their use remains constrained by mutation specificity, delivery challenges and

Technologies and Strategies for Metabolic and Molecular Imaging With Hyperpolarized MRI
ABSTRACT Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offers limited sensitivity for direct metabolic and molecular imaging using non‐proton nuclei due to low thermal nuclear spin polarization. Hyperpolarization (HP) technologies increase nuclear spin polarization by several orders of magnitude, overcoming this limitation to enable in vivo studies of ...

Natural Products in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Directions
Natural products play a pivotal role in cancer therapy. They induce cancer cell death by reprogramming four metabolic pathways while precisely targeting the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. These compounds not only leverage novel delivery systems for innovative applications but also demonstrate unique therapeutic efficacy across clinical stages:
