Cell culture is generally considered to be hyperoxic. However, the importance of cellular oxygen consumption is often underappreciated, with rates of oxygen consumption often sufficient to cause hypoxia at cell monolayers. We initially focused on cultured adipocytes as a terminally differentiated...
Nutrient-deprived conditions in the tumor microenvironment (TME) restrain cancer cell viability due to increased free radicals and reduced energy production. In pancreatic cancer cells, a cytosolic metabolic enzyme, wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (wtIDH1), enables the adaptation to these co...
The endemic of SARS-CoV-2 underscores the imperative to elucidate its effects on pregnancy, particularly regarding the potential for vertical transmission and its influence on the early maternal-fetal interface, which remain insufficiently defined. To address this, we performed an extensive cohor...
