Amino Acids Rather than Glucose Account for the Majority of Cell Mass in Proliferating Mammalian Cells

TL;DR: This article quantified the fraction of cell mass derived from different nutrients and found that the majority of carbon mass in cells is derived from other amino acids, which are consumed at much lower rates than glucose and glutamine.

Role of Glutathione in Cancer: From Mechanisms to Therapies

TL;DR: Mechanisms of GSH functionalities and different therapeutic approaches that either target GSH directly, indirectly or use GSH-based prodrugs are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elucidating cancer metabolic plasticity by coupling gene regulation with metabolic pathways.

TL;DR: The experimental results confirm that TNBC cells can maintain a hybrid metabolic phenotype and targeting both glycolysis and OXPHOS is necessary to eliminate their metabolic plasticity, and the theoretical framework to decode the coupling of gene regulation and metabolic pathways is established.

A guide to 13C metabolic flux analysis for the cancer biologist.

TL;DR: A practical guide for investigators interested in getting started with 13C-MFA is provided, which includes best practices, pitfalls, alternative approaches, and new developments, especially new user-friendly software that allows researchers without extensive training in mathematics, statistics, or coding to perform 13C -MFA.

Understanding the Warburg Effect: The Metabolic Requirements of Cell Proliferation

TL;DR: It is proposed that the metabolism of cancer cells, and indeed all proliferating cells, is adapted to facilitate the uptake and incorporation of nutrients into the biomass needed to produce a new cell.

Regulation of cancer cell metabolism

TL;DR: Interest in the topic of tumour metabolism has waxed and waned over the past century, but it has become clear that many of the signalling pathways that are affected by genetic mutations and the tumour microenvironment have a profound effect on core metabolism, making this topic once again one of the most intense areas of research in cancer biology.

Metabolic Reprogramming: A Cancer Hallmark Even Warburg Did Not Anticipate

TL;DR: It is argued that altered metabolism has attained the status of a core hallmark of cancer.
