From mitochondria to tumor suppression: ACAT1's crucial role in gastric cancer.

Article Synopsis
- ACAT1 is an enzyme linked to the metabolism of ketones, isoleucine, and fatty acids, and its mutations can lead to ketoacidosis, with varying roles in different cancer types; however, its specific impact on gastric cancer was not well understood until now.
- This study found that ACAT1 expression is significantly lower in late-stage gastric cancer tissues compared to early stages, and overexpressing ACAT1 reduced cancer cell colony formation, migration, and invasion, while enhancing sensitivity to chemotherapy.
- The research identified potential mechanisms behind ACAT1's role in gastric cancer, suggesting involvement in pathways like the Adipocytokine Signaling and P53 Signaling Pathways
Flow electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) is a promising electrochemical technique for brackish water desalination; however, there are challenges in estimating the distribution of resistance and energy consumption inside a FCDI system, which hinders the optimization of the rate-limiting compartment. In this study, energy consumption of each FCDI component (e.g.

Antibiotics are frequently detected in aquatic ecosystems, posing a potential threat to the freshwater environment. However, the response mechanism of freshwater microalgae to antibiotics remains inadequately understood. Here, the impacts of azithromycin (a broadly used antibiotic) on microalgae Chlorella pyrenoidosa were systematically studied.
