Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic network-based stratification of hepatocellular carcinoma reveals three distinct tumor subtypes.

TL;DR: The analyses showed that the heterogeneous HCC tumors can be stratified using a metabolic network-driven approach, which may also be applied to other cancer types, and this stratification may have clinical implications to drive the development of precision medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogen peroxide metabolism and sensing in human erythrocytes: A validated kinetic model and reappraisal of the role of peroxiredoxin II

TL;DR: Simulations of the responses of intact erythrocytes to physiological H2O2 stimuli highlight that a design combining abundant Prx2 with a low effective peroxidase activity spares NADPH while improving potential signaling properties of the Prx 2/thioredoxin/thIoredoxin reductase system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of therapeutic agents for prostate cancer using genome-scale metabolic modeling and drug repositioning

TL;DR: This study reconstructs a prostate cancer (PRAD)-specific GEM and finds that sulfamethoxypyridazine, azlocillin, hydroflumethiazide, and ifenprodil can be repurposed for the treatment of prostate cancer based on an in silico cell viability assay.
