A novel role of the mitochondrial BKCa channel involves the metabolic reprogramming of breast cancer cells, facilitating their unrestricted proliferation and O2-independence, which is also of potential clinical relevance.
A proportion of glioblastoma with global hypo-methylation are enriched for an astrocytic signature and display increased invasion and altered immune landscape.
Zebrafish caudal fin amputation induces an increase in the glycolytic influx that leads to dedifferentiation of osteoblasts and their re-entry in the cell cycle, which is essential for blastema formation and bone regeneration.
Metabolomics analysis identified potential neuroactive metabolites, issued from food and microbial fermentation, that are linked to symptoms of depression, anxiety and alcohol craving.
