Giardia duodenalis is a prevalent intestinal parasite that cause giardiasis, a condition characterized by diarrhea and frequently linked to malnutrition and growth impairments in children. The presence of Giardiavirus (GLV) can lead to reduced pathological damage in mice infected with Giardia and...
Renal fibrosis, a hallmark of chronic kidney diseases, is driven by the activation of renal fibroblasts. Recent studies have highlighted the role of glycolysis in this process. Nevertheless, one critical glycolytic activator, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), remain...
The mechanisms by which macrophage metabolism is regulated and the effects of metabolism on diseases remain largely unknown. We show here that TGF-β regulates the glycolysis of macrophages independently of inflammatory cytokine production, and thus affects the survival in experimental sepsis. Spe...
Glycolytic potential (GP) is an important index for evaluating meat quality in the pig industry, since high muscle glycogen content generally leads to rapid postmortem glycolysis, which contributes to low meat quality. However, there are few researches to elucidate the genetic mechanisms underlie...
Background: Blocking glycolysis inhibits regulatory T cells (Tregs), which are often hijacked by tumor cells whose survival relies on glycolysis to inhibit antitumor immunity. However, how glycolysis influences Treg proliferation/differentiation remains unclear. Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs...
