Glucose uptake is essential for cancer glycolysis and is involved in non-shivering thermogenesis of adipose tissues. Most cancers use glycolysis to harness energy for their infinite growth, invasion and metastasis. Activation of thermogenic metabolism in brown adipose tissue (BAT) by cold an...
Cancer, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), induces changes to metabolism that drive the disease. Regional metabolomics can help to understand metabolic variation across the tumour including changes near the tumour core, where hypoxia is likely more pronounced. We apply ultra...
The vasculature represents a highly plastic compartment, capable of switching from a quiescent to an active proliferative state during angiogenesis. Metabolic reprogramming in endothelial cells (ECs) thereby is crucial to cover the increasing cellular energy demand under growth conditions. Here w...
Lipid metabolism drives cancer progression but is difficult to model using conventional methods. In vivo models provide circulating lipids, but are costly and low throughput, while in vitro models lack sufficient lipid availability in culture media. Here, we evaluate the chick chorioallantoic mem...
