Metabolism: The complex of physical and chemical processes occurring within a living cell or organism that are necessary for the maintenance of life. In metabolism some substances are broken down to yield energy for vital processes while other substances, necessary for life, are synthesized.
Appropriate dosing of pharmaceuticals is critical to prevent sub-therapeutic efficacy or the occurrence of adverse events. However, genetic variability may significantly influence an individu...
Diagnosis and management of CKD requires a spectrum of diagnostic tests to not only diagnose kidney function but also determine the status of other complications due to CKD, including creatin...

During the development of oral cancer (OC), cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) create a supporting niche by maintaining a bidirectional crosstalk with cancer cells, mediated by classically ...
The Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis is a well-known cancer metabolism phenomenon and serves as an established test for tumor detection with FDG-PET scanning technology. Cancer cells swit...
Humans are colonized by vast numbers of symbiotic microorganisms whose metabolisms are inextricably intertwined with our own. To understand how chemical transformations performed by the human...
Polyamines are small, mostly linear organic molecules found in almost all living cells, and are positively charged at physiological pH. As a consequence of their positive charge, polyamines b...

Laboratory animal surgical models are instrumental in biomedical research; therefore establishing healthy defined animal models is crucial to this research. Surgical procedures produce metab...
Soiled-bedding sentinels are not always efficient in detecting pathogens in rodent colonies. In this context, PCR-based testing can be more sensitive and is being advocated as adjunct to trad...
Oncogenic mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) or 2 (IDH2) compromise their normal activity and induce NADPH-dependent (D)2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) production within the cytosol or m...
It has become widely accepted that the presence of intraepithelial CD8+ T cell correlate with improved patient survival. In contrast, tumors largely devoid of immune infiltrations or infiltra...
Hyper and Hypoparathyroid disease states are often latent with a multiplicity of manifestations ranging from asymptomatic state to obvious symptoms and complications such as fatigue...
Tumor cells often display fundamental changes in metabolism and increase their uptake of nutrients to meet the increased bioenergetic demands of proliferation. Glucose and glutamine are two m...
Obesity is associated with an aggressive subtype of breast cancer called basal-like breast cancer (BBC). Using C3(1)-TAg mice, a genetically engineered mouse model that resembles human BBC, w...
Proteomics technology has improved dramatically over the last decade. The technology developments have largely been directed around instrument hardware, where instruments have been developed...
The eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E is an oncogene elevated in an estimated 30% of cancers. The traditional view is that eIF4E drives proliferation and survival by increasing t...
Understanding how genes coordinate their expression across cells in a growing embryo can provide insights into the transcriptional programs that control development. Intercellular variability...
Imagine a world in which we could adapt biology to manufacture any therapeutic, material, or chemical from renewable resources, both quickly and on demand. Industrial biotechnology is one of...
Laboratory assessment of serum lipid and lipoprotein levels is essential for the management of the risk of atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Traditionally, this has involved the...
Pharmcogenomics (PGx) is the 2nd potential clinical application of genomic medicine, preceded by genomic application for cancer. In the recently published, 2012 Institute of Medicine report o...
Obesity is a disease. It was once not considered to be a disease and to be a matter of will power and gluttony. It was also the case that we once thought that fat tissue had no metabolic func...
