Unraveling Glycosphingolipid Metabolism in Neuroblastic Tumors Using Transcriptome-Weighted Network Analysis

Transcriptome-Weighted Network Analysis of Glycosphingolipid Metabolism in Neuroblastoma Background Introduction Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are a class of membrane lipids composed of a ceramide backbone linked to glycan moieties, widely present in the nervous system. They play crucial roles in cell signaling, cell-cell interactions, and tumorigenesi...

Real-Time Assessment of Relative Mitochondrial ATP Synthesis Response Against Inhibiting and Stimulating Substrates (MitoRaise)

Real-Time Assessment of Mitochondrial ATP Synthesis Response: MitoRaise Academic Background Mitochondria are the energy factories within cells, primarily synthesizing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). ATP serves as the main energy carrier in cells, and its synthesis rate directly reflects the functional status...
