The metabolic advantage of tumor cells
1- Oncogenes express proteins of "Tyrosine kinase receptor pathways", a receptor family including insulin or IGF-Growth Hormone receptors. Other oncogenes alter the PP2A phosphatase brake over these kinases.

Enzymatic AND-Gate Based on Electrode-Immobilized Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase: Towards Digital Biosensors and Biochemical Logic Systems with Low Noise [PDF]
Electrode-immobilized glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is used to catalyze an enzymatic reaction which carries out the AND logic gate. This logic function is considered here in the context of biocatalytic processes utilized for the biocomputing applications for "digital" (threshold) sensing/actuation.

Serine biosynthesis with one carbon catabolism represents a novel pathway for ATP generation in cells using alternative glycolysis with zero net ATP production [PDF]
Recent experimental evidence indicates that some cancer cells have an alternative glycolysis pathway with net zero ATP production, implying that upregulation of glycolysis in these cells may not be related to the generation of ATP.

Neurological, Psychiatric, and Biochemical Aspects of Thiamine Deficiency in Children and Adults. [PDF]
Thiamine (vitamin B1) is an essential nutrient that serves as a cofactor for a number of enzymes, mostly with mitochondrial localization. Some thiamine-dependent enzymes are involved in energy metabolism and biosynthesis of nucleic acids whereas others ...

Eosinophils play a crucial role in the progression of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). This study demonstrates that eosinophils, induced by OVA/IL‐5, promote Lumican secretion in the synovium, which binds to Annexin A1 in chondrocytes, inhibiting transforming growth factor β2 and Smad2/3 phosphorylation.

Ptc6 is required for proper rapamycin-induced down-regulation of the genes coding for ribosomal and rRNA processing proteins in S. cerevisiae. [PDF]
Ptc6 is one of the seven components (Ptc1-Ptc7) of the protein phosphatase 2C family in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In contrast to other type 2C phosphatases, the cellular role of this isoform is poorly understood. We present here a comprehensive

Under DNA damage, tumor cells rely on efficient DNA repair for survival and therapy resistance. This study has demonstrated that BCKDK localizes to breast cancer cell nuclei, where it binds to and phosphorylates RNF8, thereby blocking ubiquitin‐mediated degradation of RAD51 and enhancing HRR. A selective BCKDK inhibitor synergizes with clinical agents,

PP2A‐based triple‐strike therapy overcomes mitochondrial apoptosis resistance in brain cancer cells
Mitochondrial glycolysis and hyperactivity of the phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase–protein kinase B (AKT) pathway are hallmarks of malignant brain tumors.

Characterization of key triacylglycerol biosynthesis processes in rhodococci. [PDF]
Oleaginous microorganisms have considerable potential for biofuel and commodity chemical production. Under nitrogen-limitation, Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 grown on benzoate, an analog of lignin depolymerization products, accumulated triacylglycerols (TAGs ...
