Mitochondria maintain the energy supply, biosynthesis, and redox homeostasis of tumor cells through oxidative phosphorylation, the TCA cycle, and substrate oxidation. Certain tumors and treatment-persistent cells can develop specific mitochondrial metabolic dependencies, making OXPHOS, substrate ...
The core of carbon-nitrogen metabolic crosstalk lies in the dynamic conversion between carbon skeletons and nitrogen flow. Glutamate and α-ketoglutarate form key hubs connecting the TCA cycle, transamination reactions, glutamine metabolism, and amino acid biosynthesis. Their changes reflect not ...
