Regulation of Tumor Initiation by the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier.

TLDR
Genetic studies in Drosophila suggest that changes in cellular pyruvate metabolism are necessary and sufficient to promote cancer initiation, and loss of Mpc1 prior to a tumorigenic stimulus doubled the frequency of adenoma formation and produced higher grade tumors.

Glutamine reliance in cell metabolism.

TL;DR: This review introduces the various biosynthetic and bioenergetic roles of glutamine based on the compartmentalization of glutamines metabolism to explain why cells exhibit metabolic reliance on glutamine and proposes a metabolic target for therapeutic intervention in cancer.

Mitochondrial DNA copy number in human disease: the more the better?

TL;DR: Current knowledge of the role of mtDNA copy number regulation in various types of human diseases, including mitochondrial disorders, neurodegenerative disorders and cancer, and during ageing is critically discussed.

Stem cell divisions, somatic mutations, cancer etiology, and cancer prevention

TL;DR: An independent approach based solely on cancer genome sequencing and epidemiological data suggested that R mutations are responsible for two-thirds of the mutations in human cancers, and results are consistent with epidemiological estimates of the fraction of cancers that can be prevented by changes in the environment.

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.
