Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) maintain the specialised lipid compositions of biological membranes, and many are associated with disease. In eukaryotes, they support organellar functions by transporting lipids between compartmentalised metabolic pathways. However, for the majority of the hundreds...
Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. Metabolic abnormalities are one of the hallmarks of pancreatic cancer, and pancreatic cancer cells can adapt to biosynthesis, energy intake and redox needs through metabolic reprogramming to tolerate nutrient deficiency and hypoxic ...
The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is pivotal in programming cellular lipid homeostasis for the structural and functional integrity of cells. Dysregulation of mTOR and consequent altered lipid metabolism are common features in various diseases, including cancers, making mTOR signaling a p...
