TLDR
In this article, the authors examined how PKM2 deletion affects proliferation and metabolism in nontransformed, non-immortalized PKM-2-expressing primary cells and found that deletion in primary cells results in PKM1 expression and proliferation arrest.

Understanding the Intersections between Metabolism and Cancer Biology

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define pathways that are limiting for cancer progression and understand the context specificity of metabolic preferences and liabilities in malignant cells, which can guide the more effective targeting of metabolism to help patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Supporting Aspartate Biosynthesis Is an Essential Function of Respiration in Proliferating Cells

TL;DR: It is found that electron acceptors are limiting for producing aspartates, and supplying aspartate enables proliferation of respiration deficient cells in the absence of exogenous electron acceptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic compensation: A phenomenon in search of mechanisms.

TL;DR: This review revisits studies reporting genetic compensation in higher eukaryotes and outlines possible molecular mechanisms, which may include both transcriptional and posttranscriptional processes.

A roadmap for interpreting 13 C metabolite labeling patterns from cells

TL;DR: Key issues in interpreting (13)C metabolite labeling patterns are reviewed, with the goal of drawing accurate conclusions from steady state and dynamic stable isotopic tracer experiments.

Hallmarks of cancer: the next generation.

TL;DR: Recognition of the widespread applicability of these concepts will increasingly affect the development of new means to treat human cancer.

A biomarker that identifies senescent human cells in culture and in aging skin in vivo

TL;DR: It is shown that several human cells express a beta-galactosidase, histochemically detectable at pH 6, upon senescence in culture, which provides in situ evidence that senescent cells may exist and accumulate with age in vivo.

A rapid and simple method for measuring thymocyte apoptosis by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry

TL;DR: A flow cytometric method for measuring the percentage of apoptotic nuclei after propidium iodide staining in hypotonic buffer is developed and shown an excellent correlation with the results obtained with both electrophoretic and colorimetric methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
