Systemic candidiasis is an opportunistic fungal infection that has been difficult to treat effectively. Research published in ...
In the intricate regulation of inflammation, metabolic reprogramming and posttranslational modification (PTM) have emerged as pivotal players, offering new avenues for understanding the fine-tuned ...
Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and ...
Digestive tract tumors are malignant diseases characterized by high aggressiveness, heterogeneity and metabolic abnormalities ...
Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study. The findings ...
FAS, fatty acid synthase; FATP, fatty acid transporter protein; GPCR, G protein-coupled receptor; LPC, lysophosphatidylcholine; LXR, liver X receptor; PPARγ, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ...
Researchers have discovered that activating the pentose phosphate pathway makes antitumor CD8+ T cells more likely to stay in an immature, stem-like, “precursor” state. Combining this metabolic ...
Lactate, once considered a metabolic waste product, is now recognized as a key regulator of cellular homeostasis and disease progression. In gynecological malignancies-including ovarian, cervical, and ...
Breast cancer remains the most prevalent malignancy among women worldwide, posing a critical challenge to global health. Amid the complexities of this disease, an emerging focus on metabolic ...
