Cancer cells without mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) do not form tumors unless they reconstitute
oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) by mitochondria acquired from host stroma. To …

High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is an endogenous danger signal molecule. In a
previous report, we showed that HMGB1 is massively released during NMDA-induced acute …

Bladder cancer (BC) is a common cancer but diagnostic modalities, such as cystoscopy and
urinary cytology, have limitations. Here, high-performance liquid chromatography-…

Although colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered one of the most preventable cancers, no
non-invasive, accurate diagnostic tool to screen CRC exists. We explored the potential of urine …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Biliary tract cancer is highly lethal at presentation, with increasing
mortality worldwide. Current diagnostic measures employing multiple criteria such as imaging…

Agro-herbal materials vary in prices and qualities depending on the origin and age and the
differentiation is both scientific and public health issue. Here, we describe a metabolomics …

Correct identification of the origins of herbal medical products is becoming increasingly
important in tandem with the growing interest in alternative medicine. However, visual inspection …

Dynamic regulation of glucose flux between aerobic glycolysis and the pentose phosphate
pathway (PPP) during epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is not well-understood. Here …

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) undergo coordinated epigenetic and metabolic changes to
differentiate properly. However, the precise mechanisms by which these alterations are fine-…

Background Pancreatic cancer (PC) has a grim prognosis, and an early diagnostic biomarker
has been highly desired. The molecular link between diabetes and PC has not been well …
