Glutamine Oxidation Maintains the TCA Cycle and Cell Survival during Impaired Mitochondrial Pyruvate Transport

TL;DR: This work shows that import of pyruvate into the mitochondria suppresses GDH and glutamine-dependent acetyl-CoA formation and defines a mechanism to induce glutaminolysis and uncover a survival pathway engaged during compromised supply of pyRuvate to the mitochondaria.
Journal ArticleDOI

PARACEST agents: modulating MRI contrast via water proton exchange

TL;DR: The goal of this article is to review the factors that govern water molecule and water proton exchange in gadolinium (III) complexes and to compare the potential sensitivity of PARACEST agents versus Gd(3+)-based T(1) relaxation agents for altering tissue contrast.
Journal ArticleDOI

Numerical solution of the Bloch equations provides insights into the optimum design of PARACEST agents for MRI

TL;DR: A theoretical framework based on the modified Bloch equations that relates the chemical properties of a CEST agent and various NMR parameters to the measured CEST effect was formulated, and results were in excellent agreement with experimental Z‐spectra obtained with an aqueous solution of a paramagnetic CESTAgent containing two different types of bound protons.
