Double genetic disruption of lactate dehydrogenases A and B is required to ablate the "Warburg effect" restricting tumor growth to oxidative metabolism.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that the Warburg effect is not only based on high LDHA expression, as both LDHA and LDHB need to be deleted to suppress fermentative glycolysis, and that the metabolic shift to OXPHOS caused by LDHA/B genetic disruptions is responsible for the tumors' escape and growth.

LDHA-mediated ROS generation in chondrocytes is a potential therapeutic target for osteoarthritis

TL;DR: It is shown that inflammatory NF-κB signalling drives a glycolytic shift in chondrocytes and the production of ROS, which drives cartilage catabolism, which identifies LDHA as a potential therapeutic target for OA treatment.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.
