Mdm2 pulls the plug on glycolysis
C ancer cells have long been known to have higher rates of glycolysis than normal cells, a phenomenon named the Warburg effect after its discoverer Otto Warburg (1). Enhanced glycolysis is thought to allow cancer cells to survive the hypoxic conditions they experience in the center of solid tumors. But Mikawa et al. reveal how damaged cells switch off glycolysis as they enter senescence and sho...
متن کاملProtein translocation pulls the plug
Protein translocation pulls the plug embrane-bound compartments present an immediate problem: proteins need to get into and across those membranes. Now, we have the first picture of how that process works, thanks to the structure determined and colleagues. They find that a single SecY complex from Methanococcus jannaschii forms an hourglass-shaped pore with a basal plug that probably swings out...
متن کاملDNA Replication: Pif1 Pulls the Plug on Stalled Replication Forks
The conserved PIF helicase family appears to function in replication to ensure termination and passage through regions that slow or arrest replication fork movement. Findings in fission yeast extend evidence from budding yeast, and argue for universal mechanisms that ensure replication integrity.
متن کاملCancer, Unproven Therapies, and Magic
In this issue of Oncology, Dr. Wein presents a thoughtful discussion on the use of unproven therapies by cancer patients. He attempts to explain the rationale and motives behind such use, and the challenges faced by oncologists when encountering patients who embrace them. This commentary further highlights important issues, and provides alternative viewpoints. Although no set of terms is ideal,...
متن کاملCancer, Unproven Therapies, and Magic
Dr. Wein addresses two issues: the terminology of unproven methods, and patients reasons for using them. He prefers to use a previously popular term, unproven therapies, to those in common use today, although his term fails to account for the complementary or adjunctive therapies used by the vast majority of cancer patients who try complementary and alternative medicine. The suggestion that ...
