Most-cited papers in Cancer & Metabolism

Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and cancer

Lucas B. Sullivan, Navdeep S. Chandel · 28 Nov 2014

Mitochondria produce reactive oxygen species (mROS) as a natural by-product of electron transport chain activity. While initial studies focused on the damaging effects of reactive oxygen species, a recent paradigm shift has shown that mROS can act as signaling molecules to activate pro-growth responses. Cancer cells have long been observed to have increased production of…

Metformin directly acts on mitochondria to alter cellular bioenergetics

Sylvia Andrzejewski, Simon‐Pierre Gravel, Michaël Pollak et al. · 28 Aug 2014

BACKGROUND: Metformin is widely used in the treatment of diabetes, and there is interest in 'repurposing' the drug for cancer prevention or treatment. However, the mechanism underlying the metabolic effects of metformin remains poorly understood. METHODS: We performed respirometry and stable isotope tracer analyses on cells and isolated mitochondria to investigate the impact of metformin…

Mitochondria as biosynthetic factories for cancer proliferation

Christopher S. Ahn, Christian M. Metallo · 23 Jan 2015

Unchecked growth and proliferation is a hallmark of cancer, and numerous oncogenic mutations reprogram cellular metabolism to fuel these processes. As a central metabolic organelle, mitochondria execute critical biochemical functions for the synthesis of fundamental cellular components, including fatty acids, amino acids, and nucleotides. Despite the extensive interest in the glycolytic phenotype of many cancer…

Adipocyte lipolysis links obesity to breast cancer growth: adipocyte-derived fatty acids drive breast cancer cell proliferation and migration

Seher Balaban, Robert F. Shearer, Lisa S. Lee et al. · 13 Jan 2017

BACKGROUND: Obesity is associated with increased recurrence and reduced survival of breast cancer. Adipocytes constitute a significant component of breast tissue, yet their role in provisioning metabolic substrates to support breast cancer progression is poorly understood. RESULTS: Here, we show that co-culture of breast cancer cells with adipocytes revealed cancer cell-stimulated depletion of adipocyte triacylglycerol.…

Hypoxia signaling pathways in cancer metabolism: the importance of co-selecting interconnected physiological pathways

Norma Masson, Peter J. Ratcliffe · 4 Feb 2014

Both tumor hypoxia and dysregulated metabolism are classical features of cancer. Recent analyses have revealed complex interconnections between oncogenic activation, hypoxia signaling systems and metabolic pathways that are dysregulated in cancer. These studies have demonstrated that rather than responding simply to error signals arising from energy depletion or tumor hypoxia, metabolic and hypoxia signaling pathways…

Cancer & Metabolism template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Cancer & Metabolism format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Cancer & Metabolism template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Cancer & Metabolism use?
Cancer & Metabolism uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title.

Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Cancer & Metabolism?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready Cancer & Metabolism document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Cancer & Metabolism template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Cancer & Metabolism format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Cancer & Metabolism?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready Cancer & Metabolism PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Cancer & Metabolism template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Cancer & Metabolism template cost?
You can start writing in the Cancer & Metabolism template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Cancer & Metabolism PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
