How enzyme economy shapes metabolic fluxes
Metabolic fluxes are governed by physical and economic principles. Stationarity constrains them to a subspace in flux space and thermodynamics makes them lead from higher to lower chemical potentials. At the same time, fluxes in cells represent a compromise between metabolic performance and enzyme cost. To capture this, some flux prediction methods penalise larger fluxes by heuristic cost terms...
متن کاملT Cells and Cancer: How Metabolism Shapes Immunity
Tumor microenvironment is characterized by a consistent reduction in oxygen and blood-borne nutrients that significantly affects the metabolism of distinct cell subsets. Immune cells populating malignant lesions need to activate alternative pathways to overcome tumor-prolonged nutrient deprivation. In particular, the metabolic switch occurring in transforming tissues dramatically impacts on tum...
متن کاملMetabolic sensing and the brain: who, what, where, and how?
Unique subpopulations of specialized metabolic sensing neurons reside in a distributed network throughout the brain and respond to alterations in ambient levels of various metabolic substrates by altering their activity. Variations in local brain substrate levels reflect their transport across the blood- and cerebrospinal-brain barriers as well as local production by astrocytes. There are a num...
متن کاملHow the Military Shapes Dictatorships
1 How the Military Shapes Dictatorships 1 Barbara Geddes UCLA All governments depend for their survival on the cooperation of the military. Although democratic regimes in industrialized countries have developed formulas for insulating most aspects of government from military influence, finding ways to insure the support of the armed forces has challenged both democratic and authoritarian govern...
متن کاملHeterologous Immunity Reactions Between B. Typhosus and B. Enteritidis *
Immunity has been considered one of the most specific of biologic reactions and it has been assumed that an infection induced by one organism within a closely related group does not immunize against another organism of the same group. The recent studies of Weil, Felix, and Olitzki suggest strongly that there is a group immunity between typhoid and enteritidis infections. The results here report...
