TLDR
This review examines the idea that several core fluxes, including aerobic glycolysis, de novo lipid biosynthesis, and glutamine-dependent anaplerosis, form a stereotyped platform supporting proliferation of diverse cell types and regulates regulation of these fluxes by cellular mediators of signal transduction and gene expression.

The autophagy conundrum in cancer: influence of tumorigenic metabolic reprogramming

TL;DR: How metabolic reprogramming influences autophagic activity in tumors is reviewed, and how inhibition of autophagy might be exploited to target tumor cells that show altered metabolism is discussed.

Current Scientific Rationale for the Use of Somatostatin Analogs and mTOR Inhibitors in Neuroendocrine Tumor Therapy

TL;DR: The scientific rationale for the potential additive or synergistic antitumor effects of combined therapy of somatostatin analogs and everolimus offers a promising treatment option for neuroendocrine tumors.

Neural stem/progenitor cells display a low requirement for oxidative metabolism independent of hypoxia inducible factor‐1alpha expression

TL;DR: Data indicate that NSPCs have a relatively low requirement for oxidative metabolism for their survival and that hypoxic resistance is not dependent upon HIF‐1α signaling.

HIF-1-mediated expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase: A metabolic switch required for cellular adaptation to hypoxia

TL;DR: A hypoxia-induced metabolic switch that shunts glucose metabolites from the mitochondria to glycolysis to maintain ATP production and to prevent toxic ROS production is revealed.
