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.

Molecular Mechanisms Linking Exercise to Cancer Prevention and Treatment.

TL;DR: It is proposed that exercise has a role in controlling cancer progression through a direct effect on tumor-intrinsic factors, interplay with whole-body exercise effects, alleviation of cancer-related adverse events, and improvement of anti-cancer treatment efficacy.

Activity-based protein profiling for biochemical pathway discovery in cancer

TL;DR: Activity-based profiling platforms enable both the discovery of cancer-relevant enzymes and selective pharmacological probes to perturb and characterize these proteins in tumour cells and can provide insight into the metabolic and signalling pathways that support cancer pathogenesis and illuminate new strategies for disease diagnosis and treatment.

Glycolytic Reprogramming in Myofibroblast Differentiation and Lung Fibrosis

TL;DR: The data support the novel concept of glycolytic reprogramming in the pathogenesis of lung fibrosis and provide proof-of-concept that targeting this pathway may be efficacious in treating fibrotic disorders, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
