WDR12 Promotes Glucose Metabolism via PFKFB4 Upregulation in Gastric Cancer
WDR12 promotes glucose metabolism and tumor growth in GC. Mechanistically, WDR12 interacts with TDP43 and appears to enhance PFKFB4 expression, thereby promoting glucose metabolism. ABSTRACT Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of gastric cancer (GC); however, the role of transcriptional regulators in modulating glycolysis remains incompletely ...

A guide to transcriptional cyclin‐dependent kinases in cancer
Transcriptional cyclin‐dependent‐kinases (tCDKs) facilitate gene expression by promoting RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) progression through discrete phases of the transcription cycle. Aberrant tCDK activity is detectable in different human cancers, thereby contributing to de‐regulated gene expression programs that drive oncogenic phenotypes.

The Role of Oxidative Stress in Periodontitis
Oxidative stress is involved in multiple chemical reactions that take place in different intracellular organelles: mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisomes, autophagy, and aging, and can be influenced by exogenous factors: nutrition, physical activity, psychological status, environmental conditions, microbiome, and drugs.
