The Role of One‐Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Its Therapeutic Significance
One‐Carbon metabolism in T‐cell activation and tumor competition. T‐cell activation shifts metabolic pathways, promoting anabolic metabolism and bioenergetic capacity. One‐carbon metabolism plays a crucial role in histone and DNA methylation in activated T cells.

Thymidine phosphorylase from Escherichia coli: Tight-binding inhibitors as enzyme active-site titrants [PDF]
Thymidine phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.4) catalyses the reversible phosphorolysis of pyrimidine 2′-deoxynucleosides, forming 2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate and pyrimidine.

Wernicke Encephalopathy Complicating a Distinctive POLG Phenotype With MNGIE‐Like Features
ABSTRACT Background Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive disease caused by variants in the thymidine phosphorylase gene (TYMP), primarily characterized by severe gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms.

Tumor-associated macrophages confer resistance to chemotherapy (Trifluridine/Tipiracil) in digestive cancers by overexpressing Thymidine Phosphorylase [PDF]
International audiencePyrimidine analogs are part of the first-line chemotherapy regimen for gastrointestinal cancers. Trifluridine combined with tipiracil, a specific thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor, in TAS-102 has recently emerged as a potential ...

Al‐Hilfi et al. present a biocatalytic strategy for synthesizing 5‐methyl‐5,6‐dihydrothymidine (5‐MDHT), a sensitive MRI contrast agent. The study demonstrates that recombinant enzyme catalysis offers an efficient, sustainable, and eco‐friendly alternative to traditional chemical synthesis for producing clinically relevant imaging probes.

This study develops a biomimetic nanoplatform using erythrocyte membrane‐camouflaged, CD144 antibody‐functionalized nanoparticles to deliver 2‐deoxy‐D‐ribose (2dDR). This system promotes heart valve endothelialization by enhancing endothelial cell migration and proliferation via EGFR activation, while improving hemocompatibility.

Elevated Thymidine Phosphorylase Activity in Psoriatic Lesions Accounts for the Apparent Presence of an Epidermal “Growth Inhibitor,” But Is Not in Itself Growth Inhibitory [PDF]
An apparent tissue-specific growth inhibitor, or chalone, obtained from psoriatic lesions was tentatively identified in the 100-kDa fraction based upon inhibition of DNA synthesis, as measured by [3H]-thymidine uptake by a squamous cell carcinoma cell ...
