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.

Multicolor two-photon imaging of endogenous fluorophores in living tissues by wavelength mixing

TL;DR: Efficient and simultaneous multicolor two-photon excitation of endogenous fluorophores with absorption spectra spanning the 750–1040 nm range is reported, using wavelength mixing to permit an efficient simultaneous imaging of the metabolic coenzymes NADH and FAD in living tissues.

Metabolic changes associated with tumor metastasis, part 2: Mitochondria, lipid and amino acid metabolism.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the contributions of mitochondria, lipid and amino acid metabolism to the metastatic process, including succinate, fumarate, and d-2-hydroxyglutarate that control energy production, biosynthesis and the redox state.

The mitochondrial H(+)-ATP synthase and the lipogenic switch: new core components of metabolic reprogramming in induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells.

TL;DR: The mitochondrial H+-ATP synthase and the ACACA/FASN-driven lipogenic switch are newly characterized as instrumental metabolic events that, by coupling the Warburg effect to anabolic metabolism, enable de-differentiation during the reprogramming of somatic cells to iPS cells.

An RNA Interference Screen Identifies Metabolic Regulators NR1D1 and PBP as Novel Survival Factors for Breast Cancer Cells with the ERBB2 Signature

TL;DR: It is shown that NR1D1 and PBP act through a common pathway in upregulating several genes in the de novo fatty acid synthesis network, which is highly active in ERBB2-positive breast cancer cells.
