β‐Catenin/c‐Myc Axis Modulates Autophagy Response to Different Ammonia Concentrations
Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2025.Ammonia, detoxified by the liver into urea and glutamine, impacts autophagy differently at varying levels. Low ammonia activates autophagy via c‐Myc and β‐catenin, while high levels suppress it. Using Huh7 cells and Spf‐ash mice, c‐Myc's role in cytoprotective autophagy is revealed, offering insights into hyperammonemia and potential therapeutic ...

Profitability landscapes for competitive photovoltaic self-consumption
Energy PolicyPhotovoltaic self-consumption (PVSC) is a central element of the energy transition. However, retail electricity tariffs have not adapted to the emerging phenomenon of demand-side generation. We introduce the concept of profitability landscapes to evaluate the effects of a cost-reflective retail tariff and a competitive PVSC regulation on prosumers ...
