Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member-1 (ACSS1) catalyzes the ligation of acetate and coenzyme A to generate acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria to produce ATP through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. We recently generated an ACSS1-acetylation (Ac) mimic knock-in mouse, where lysine 635 was mutated to glutamine (K635Q), which structurally and biochemically mimics an acetylated lysine. ACSS1 enzymatic activity is regulated, at least in part, through the acetylation of lysine 635 in mice (lysine 642 in humans), a Sirtuin 3 deacetylation target.

The present study aims to investigate the impact of inhibition of ERN1 endoribonuclease and protein kinase activities on the , , and gene expression in U87MG glioblastoma cells with an intent to reveal the role of ERN1 signaling in the regulation of expression of these genes. The U87MG glioblastoma cells with inhibited ERN1 endoribonuclease (dnrERN1) or both enzymatic activities of ERN1 (endoribonuclease and protein kinase; dnERN1) were used.

Lung cancer exhibits altered metabolism, influencing its response to radiation. To investigate the metabolic regulation of radiation response, we conducted a comprehensive, metabolic-wide CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screen using radiation as selection pressure in human non-small cell lung cancer. Lipoylation emerged as a key metabolic target for radiosensitization, with lipoyltransferase 1 (LIPT1) identified as a top hit.

Liver fibrosis is an inevitable stage in the progression of most chronic liver diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment of liver fibrosis are crucial for effectively managing chronic liver conditions. However, there lacks a noninvasive and sensitive imaging method capable of early assessing fibrosis activity.

A disposable, self-powered enzymatic biofuel cell (BFC) sensor integrated with a hollow microneedle array (HMNA) for glucose monitoring in interstitial fluid (ISF) is reported. The HMNA enables painless and minimally invasive ISF extraction. The BFC uses dehydrogenase (GDH) in conjunction with NAD, diaphorase (DI), and vitamin K (VK) serving as electron transfer mediators as the anode catalyst and Prussian blue (PB) as the electrochromic cathode.
