Special Issue: Cancer Metabolism
نویسنده
چکیده
This special issue is designed to present the latest research findings and developments in the field of cancer metabolism. Cancer is a complex disease and a common term used for more than 100 diseases, whereas metabolism describes a labyrinth of complex biochemical pathways in the cell. It is essential to understand metabolism in the context of cancer for the early detection of disease biomarkers and to find proper targets for potential treatments. The articles presented in this issue cover metabolic aspects of brain tumours, breast tumours, paraganglioma, and the metabolic activity of tumour suppressor gene p53.

متن کاملLipid metabolism in cancer
Dysregulated lipid metabolism is an established hallmark of cancer. Lipids play diverse roles inmaintaining cellular structure, formingmembrane microdomains for functional scaffolding of protein complexes, serving as fat storage depots, and acting as signaling molecules. All of these processes are critical in cancer not only for generating the membrane constituents necessary for proliferating c...
متن کاملRetinoid Metabolism and Diabetes Mellitus
Retinoid acid is a metabolite of vitamin A and functions as an important factor in cell survival, differentiation and death. Most previous studies on retinoid metabolism have focused on its association with cancer, hematologic and dermatologic disorders. Given the special concern over the recent increase in the prevalence of diabetes worldwide, the role of retinoid metabolism on glucose metabol...

After a year-long gestation, we are pleased to present the first Special Issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, entitled “Psychosocial Aspects of Cancer Genetic Testing: Findings from the Cancer Genetics Studies Consortium.” This topic was selected to highlight the growing importance of cancer genetics and behavioral interventions in the reduction of cancer morbidity and mortali...
متن کاملInvestigation on metabolism of cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer using a genome scale metabolic model and microarray data
Objective(s): Many cancer cells show significant resistance to drugs that kill drug sensitive cancer cells and non-tumor cells and such resistance might be a consequence of the difference in metabolism. Therefore, studying the metabolism of drug resistant cancer cells and comparison with drug sensitive and normal cell lines is the objective of this research. Material and Methods:Metabolism of c...
