Article Synopsis
- Tumor cells modify their metabolism to increase glycolytic metabolites, which aids in their growth and proliferation.
- The study focuses on a new PKM2 nano-activator that promotes the conversion of the PKM2 enzyme from dimers to tetramers, effectively slowing down glycolysis and inhibiting tumor growth and spread.
- This glycopeptide-based nano-activator targets tumors directly and enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy in treating prostate and breast cancers by disrupting tumor metabolism.
Background: The purpose of this study was to elucidate the possible beneficial effects of adiponectin (APN) on acute lung injury in a rat model of sepsis.
Methods: We subjected male Sprague-Dawley rats to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) to establish sepsis models. We randomly animals divided into four groups: control (C), model (CLP), preemptive APN administration (APN plus CLP), and delayed APN administration (CLP plus APN).
To reduce the production cost of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), the process feasibility and physicochemical properties of PHAs synthesized by Alcaligenes latus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and activated sludge from malt waste, soy waste, confectionary waste, ice cream waste, milk waste, sesame oil and vinegar waste were analyzed. Results showed that through two-stage fed-batch fermentation, the maximum yield of PHAs accumulated by the three kinds of microorganisms from malt waste was 70.1%, 16.
