Understanding the fundamental biochemical and metabolic requirements for the replication of coronaviruses within infected cells is of notable interest for the development of broad-based therapeutic strategies, given the likelihood of the emergence of new pandemic-potential virus species, as well as future variants of SARS-CoV-2. Here we demonstrate members of the glutaminase family of enzymes (GLS and GLS2), which catalyze the hydrolysis of glutamine to glutamate (i.e.

Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by abundant immature myeloid cells, relapse and refractory due to leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem/ stromal cells (BMSCs) supported LSCs survival, meanwhile, chemotherapy improved connexin43 (CX43) expression. CX43, as the most intercellular gap junction, facilitated transmit mitochondria from BMSCs into AML.

Article Synopsis
  • * Research shows that metabolic disorders like obesity and type 2 diabetes worsen the aggressiveness of TNBC, particularly through the influence of circulating plasma exosomes that alter the tumor microenvironment.
  • * The study uncovers how plasma exosomes from obese, diabetic patients can induce features in TNBC cells that promote migration and metastasis, along with identifying potential therapeutic targets related to protein activation in TNBC.
