What is this page?
This page lists the scientific contributions of an author, who either does not have a ResearchGate profile, or has not yet added these contributions to their profile.
It was automatically created by ResearchGate to create a record of this author's body of work. We create such pages to advance our goal of creating and maintaining the most comprehensive scientific repository possible. In doing so, we process publicly available (personal) data relating to the author as a member of the scientific community.
If you're a ResearchGate member, you can follow this page to keep up with this author's work.
If you are this author, and you don't want us to display this page anymore, please let us know.

Background:
Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) - positron emission tomography (PET) guides metastasis-directed radiotherapy (MDRT) in prostate cancer (PrCa). However, its value as a treatment response assessment tool after MDRT remains unclear. Importantly, there is limited understanding of the potential of radiotherapy (RT) to alter PSMA g...
Elevated liver de novo lipogenesis contributes to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and can be inhibited by targeting acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). However, hypertriglyceridemia limits the use of pharmacological ACC inhibitors as a monotherapy. ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) generates acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate from citrate, but whether inhibition is...
Background
There is need for well-tolerated therapies for prostate cancer (PrCa) secondary prevention and to improve response to radiotherapy (RT). The anti-diabetic agent metformin (MET) and the aspirin metabolite salicylate (SAL) are shown to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), suppress de novo lipogenesis (DNL), the mammalian target of...

... Acetyl-CoA is not directly transported to the cytosol; thus, the citrate-malate shuttle provides a major source of cytosolic acetyl-CoA pools [52][53][54]. Further inhibition of hepatocyte ACLY reduces lipogenesis and dyslipidemia, improving non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis [55]. Of note, endoplasmic reticulum stress influences the expression of CTP suggesting the involvement of citrate in proteostasis [56]. ...
... Lung Chemosensitizes NSCLC to both radiotherapy as well as chemotherapy (86) reprogramming to achieve metabolic plasticity. Recent studies attribute tumor aggressiveness and chemoresistance to the hybrid glycolysis/OXPHOS (oxidative phosphorylation) phenotype of cancer cells. ...
