C/EBPβ-LIP mediated activation of the malate-aspartate shuttle sensitizes cells to glycolysis inhibition15 May. 2023Cancer cells use a high glycolytic flux for the generation of metabolic intermediates and ATP needed for cell growth and proliferation. During glycolysis NAD+ is reduced to NADH and therefore the NADH/NAD+ ratio in cancer cells is usually high. To sustain a high glycolytic flux NAD+ must be regenera
