Hyperactivation of β-catenin rewires mitochondrial fuel selection in liver cancer cells

Luis Cedeño-Rosario, Queren A. Alcantara, Nicole A. Sierra, Praveena Prasad, Jillian Wright, Geanette Lam, Nimo Abdi, Jaide Florence, Alex J. Bott, Katarina E. Heyden, Joshua C. Youngs, Álvaro Jesús Narbona‐Pérez, Lorenzo Gastelum Mena, Monika A. Makurath, Jesse N. Velasco‐Silva, , Jared P. Rutter

This study shows that β-catenin activation in liver cancer cells reduces mitochondrial pyruvate carrier expression and shifts metabolism from carbohydrate to fatty acid oxidation.

Motivation to work for amino acids requires acute dopaminergic activity.

Perham M Black, Kelcey T Stapleton, Geanette Lam, Aylin R. Rodan, Adrian Rothenfluh

The paper introduces a new assay, FLAME, to measure motivation in Drosophila by assessing willingness to overcome agarose barriers for nutrients, showing dopamine neuron activity is required for amino acid seeking.

The fate of pyruvate dictates cell growth by modulating cellular redox potential

Ashish Ganeshlalji Toshniwal, Geanette Lam, Alex J. Bott, Ahmad A. Cluntun, Rachel A. Skabelund, Hyuck-Jin Nam, Dona R. Wisidagama, Carl S. Thummel, Jared P. Rutter

The paper shows that pyruvate metabolism affects cell growth in post-mitotic cells by altering redox balance and metabolic pathways, despite active growth signals.
