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 matrix environmental and cell mechanical properties regulate cell migration and contribute to the invasive phenotype of cancer cells.

TL;DR: The finding that several mechanical properties of cancer cells and their microenvironment influence each other and continuously contribute to tumor growth and cancer progression is explained in physical terms by applying physical principles on living cells regardless of their complexity and individual differences of cancer types.

Biosynthetic Machinery Involved in Aberrant Glycosylation: Promising Targets for Developing of Drugs Against Cancer

TL;DR: This review describes three classes of glycosylation, O-GlcNAcylation, N-linked, and mucin type O-linked glycosYLation, involved in tumor progression, their biosynthesis and highlights the available inhibitors as potential anti-tumor drugs.

Feeding lactate for CHO cell culture processes: Impact on culture metabolism and performance

TL;DR: This work represents the first comprehensive study on lactate depletion and offers a simple yet effective strategy to overcome ammonia and pCO2 accumulation that could arise in certain cultures due to early depletion of lactate.

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.
