Metabolic reprogramming is considered one of the hallmarks in cancer and is characterized by increased glycolysis and lactate production, even in the presence of oxygen, which leads the cancer cells to a process called "aerobic glycolysis" or "Warburg effect". The E6 and E7 oncoproteins of human papillomavirus 16 (HPV 16) favor the Warburg effect through their interaction with a molecule that regulates cellular metabolism, such as p53, retinoblastoma protein (pRb), c-Myc, and hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α). Besides, the impact of the E6 and E7 variants of HPV 16 on metabolic reprogramming through proteins such as HIF-1α may be related to their oncogenicity by favoring cellular metabolism modifications to satisfy the energy demands necessary for viral persistence and cancer development. This review will discuss the role of HPV 16 E6 and E7 variants in metabolic reprogramming and their contribution to developing and preserving the malignant phenotype of cancers associated with HPV 16 infection.

Exogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) have great potential to reconstitute damage spinal neural circuitry. However, regulating the metabolic reprogramming of NSCs for reliable nerve regeneration has been challenging. This report discusses the biomimetic dextral hydrogel (DH) with right-handed nanofibers that specifically reprograms the lipid metabolism of NSCs, promoting their neural differentiation and rapid regeneration of damaged axons.

Metabolic reprogramming stands out as a defining characteristic of cancer, including glioblastoma (GB), enabling tumor cells to overcome growth and survival challenges in adverse conditions. The dysregulation of metabolic processes in GB is crucial to its pathogenesis, influencing both tumorigenesis and the disease's invasive tendencies. This altered metabolism supplies essential energy substrates for uncontrolled cell proliferation and also creates an immunosuppressive microenvironment, complicating conventional therapies.

Nutritional immunity, a key component of the vertebrate innate immune response, involves the modulation of zinc availability to limit the growth of pathogens. counteracts host-imposed zinc starvation through metabolic adaptations, including reprogramming of gene expression and activating efficient metal uptake systems. To unravel how zinc shortage contributes to the complexity of bacterial adaptation to the host environment, it is critical to use model systems that mimic fundamental features of -related diseases in humans.

Background: () infection is a significant risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the impact of infection on the serum proteomic and metabolomic profiling of HCC patients, focusing on the potential mechanisms.
Method: A retrospective clinical analysis was conducted on 1121 HCC patients, comparing those with and without infection.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and its development typically involves complex metabolic reprogramming. By mapping the spatial distributions of metabolites and -glycans in heterogeneous colorectal cancer tissues, we can elucidate cancer-associated metabolic and -glycan changes. Herein, we combine mass spectrometry imaging-based metabolomics and -glycomics to characterize the spatially resolved reprogramming of metabolites and -glycans in colorectal cancer tissues.
