The TMJ controls jaw mobility and allows you to talk, yawn, or chew by opening and closing your mouth and moving it from side to side
In the presence of oxygen it functions as an oxidizing agent, but in the absence of oxygen, as a reducing agent
The glutamine transporter protein family (SLC) is localised on the cell membrane and enables cancer cells to take up sufficient Gln from the outside to meet their growth and metabolic requirements
Meta-analyses have shown that GLUT1 is frequently overexpressed in various solid tumors and is associated with poor prognosis ( In summary, the upregulation of key glycolytic enzymes such as HK, PFK, and PKM2, as well as LDH and lactate transporters MCT1 and MCT4, along with increased expression of the glucose transporter GLUT1, enhances glycolytic activity in tumors, contributes to an acidic TME, and promotes cancer cell invasion and migration
