Therapeutic inhibition of mitochondrial function induces cell death in starvation-resistant renal cell carcinomas

Renal cell carcinomas (RCC) have two types of cells for carbon metabolism and for cell signaling under nutrient-deprivation conditions, namely starvation-resistant and starvation-sensitive cells. Here, we evaluated the mitochondrial characteristics of these cell types and found that the resistant type possessed higher activities for both mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis th...

therapeutic potential of stem cell preconditioning for ischemic heart diseases / letter to the editor

preconditioning (pc), is an approach to improve therapeutic potential of stem cells against ischemic environment. pc has several advantages over other therapeutic techniques as this results in increase of transplanted stem cells recruitment, retention, survival and subsequently the induction of a more supportive environment within the damaged tissue via secretion of angiogenic factors. special ...
