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 ...

Metabolic alterations in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells treated with PDGF‐BB
Metabolic abnormalities are considered to play a key regulatory role in vascular remodeling of pulmonary arterial hypertension. We analyzed the metabolome in the culture supernatants of human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) during the malignant proliferation phenotype transition via a targeted metabolomics method. Significant and extensive

Kidney stones cause significant pain and healthcare costs. Current prediction, diagnosis, and treatment options are limited. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), rich in proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, offer a promising solution. This review explores the roles of EVs in kidney stone management, highlighting their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic ...

An Update: Enzymatic Synthesis for Industrial Applications
Biocatalysis has become a sustainable and cost‐competitive alternative to established chemical synthesis, enabling the enzyme‐based production of not only commodity chemicals but (non‐natural) amino acids, (rare) sugars, as well as synthetic nucleotides.

Hepatic gluconeogenesis and regulatory mechanisms in lactating ruminants: A literature review
phosphoenolpyruvate carboxy kinase, FBP1, and glucose‐6‐phosphatase are key rate‐limiting enzymes that determine the efficiency of gluconeogenesis. The main substrate for gluconeogenesis in the liver of ruminants is propionate, which provides more than 60% of the carbon source for gluconeogenesis.

Abstract Phocaeicola vulgatus (formerly Bacteroides vulgatus), an anaerobic gut bacterium, produces several organic acids. Research on P. vulgatus is still in its infancy. However, a detailed understanding of P. vulgatus growth and metabolism is essential for its assessment as an organic acid producer.
