Non-small cell lung cancer is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Eleutherococcus senticosus can induce apoptosis in non-small cell lung cancer cells, but the mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the role of Eleutherococcus senticosus in inducing apo...
Background: Cell line specific, genome-scale metabolic models enable rigorous and systematic in silico investigation of cellular metabolism. Such models have recently become available for Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) too. However, a key ingredient, namely an experimentally validat...
Following infection of B cells, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) engages host pathways that mediate cell proliferation and transformation, contributing to the propensity of the virus to drive immune dysregulation and lymphomagenesis. We found that the EBV protein EBNA2 initiates NAD de novo bios...
Introduction. Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite with an exceptional capacity to colonize a broad range of host species and cell types. Successful infection depends on its ability to manipulate host metabolism, including lipid pathways that are essential for membrane biogenes...
Apicomplexan parasite growth and replication relies on nutrient acquisition from host cells, in which intracellular multiplication occurs, yet the mechanisms that underlie the nutrient salvage remain elusive. Numerous ultrastructural studies have documented a plasma membrane invagination with a d...
