Chewing the Fat on Tumor Cell Metabolism
Tumor cells undergo a metabolic shift toward specific bioenergetic (glycolysis) and anabolic (protein and lipid synthesis) processes that promote rapid growth. Nomura et al. (2010) now demonstrate that an increase in monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) drives tumorigenesis through the lipolytic release and remodeling of free fatty acids.
متن کاملAutophagosomes and lipid droplets: no longer just chewing the fat.
Autophagosomes are organelles capable of sequestering and degrading diverse cytoplasmic cargo for nutritional and quality control purposes. Targeted are also lipid droplets (LDs), the cytoplasmic stores of neutral lipids. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Shpilka et al (2015) show that the relationship between LDs and autophagosomes is far more intricate and that LDs regulate autophagosome bio...
متن کاملChewing the fat on natural killer T cell development
Natural killer T cells (NKT cells) are selected in the thymus by self-glycolipid antigens presented by CD1d molecules. It is currently thought that one specific component of the lysosomal processing pathway, which leads to the production of isoglobotrihexosylceramide (iGb3), is essential for normal NKT cell development. New evidence now shows that NKT cell development can be disrupted by a dive...
متن کاملlazar: a modular predictive toxicology framework
lazar (lazy structure-activity relationships) is a modular framework for predictive toxicology. Similar to the read across procedure in toxicological risk assessment, lazar creates local QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) models for each compound to be predicted. Model developers can choose between a large variety of algorithms for descriptor calculation and selection, chemical...
