This is thought to be due to damaged mitochondrial structures within cancer cells inhibiting the cells ability to undergo aerobic respiration. Glucose enters the cell and is converted into pyruvate within the cytosol but cannot enter the mitochondria to undergo aerobic respiration. As a result, growin...
Several metal ions are essential for life and widely distributed in all organisms, mainly as vital components of hundreds of proteins; they play very important roles in living systems including in growth, development, energy transactions, oxygen transport, DNA synthesis and genomic and transcription fa...
These proteins undergo misfolding from their native states to form β -sheet-rich structures, ranging from small oligomers to large fibrillar aggregates. For each NDD, there is one or more prototype protein which is known to misfold, accumulate, and form aggregates. These proteins include Aβ...
