Peroxisome biogenesis disorders and the lipidome
Explore how disruptions in peroxisomal lipid metabolism drive disease phenotypes and how lipidomics can reveal early biomarkers of rare disorders.
cAMP – a currency of cell signaling
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a universal second messenger which translates extracellular cues into cellular responses regulating metabolism, gene expression, neurobiology, and immunity. Dysregulated cAMP signaling contributes to cancer, inflammation, and neurological disorders, making it a key target in precision medicine.
Energy metabolism in cancer – Mechanisms, plasticity and applications
Cancer cells rely on altered energy metabolism to fuel growth. See how metabolomics sheds light on these changes and their impact on tumor progression and therapy.
