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.

Acceleration of the glycolytic flux by steroid receptor coactivator-2 is essential for endometrial decidualization.

TL;DR: This signaling pathway, involving SRC-2 and PFKFB3, promises to offer new clinical approaches in the diagnosis and/or treatment of a non-receptive uterus in patients presenting idiopathic infertility, recurrent early pregnancy loss, or increased time to pregnancy.

Integrating physiological regulation with stem cell and tissue homeostasis.

TL;DR: Stem cells are regulated by a combination of shared and tissue-specific mechanisms and are distinguished from restricted progenitors by differences in transcriptional and epigenetic regulation, which allows stem cells to sustain homeostasis or to remodel relevant tissues in response to physiological change.

AMPK: Evidence for an energy-sensing cytokinetic tumor suppressor

TL;DR: It is suggested that molecular co-evolution of the energy-sensing cytokinetic tumor suppressor AMPK within the chronic biophysical constraints of the tumor microenvironment may inherently promote a continuous generation of structural and numerical changes in chromosomes favoring generation of nascent tumor cells and/or tumor-initiating cells over tumor cell death.

Intracellular Fluorescent Temperature Probe Based on Triarylboron Substituted Poly N-Isopropylacrylamide and Energy Transfer

TL;DR: A novel hydrophilic fluorescence temperature probe (PNDP) based on polarity-sensitive triarylboron compound (DPTB) and PNIPAM is designed and synthesized and possesses some excellent features, including wide temperature range, good linear relationship, high temperature resolution, excellent reversibility, and stability.

Monitoring Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier Activity in Real Time Using a BRET-Based Biosensor: Investigation of the Warburg Effect

TL;DR: It is reported that the MPC activity is low in cancer cells, which mainly rely on glycolysis to generate ATP, a characteristic known as the Warburg effect, and it is shown that this low activity can be reversed by increasing the concentration of cytosolic pyruvate, thus increasing oxidative phosphorylation.

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.
