Balanced Salt solution participates in providing a buffer system to maintain the medium in optimum pH range (7.2-7.6), irrigating and diluting while maintaining the intra- and extracellular osmotic balance. It helps to maintain the normal cell metabolism by giving water and bulk inorganic ions. Balanced Salt solution provides the energy source for cell metabolism by supplying carbohydrates such as glucose.
Amino-acid metabolism plays a vital role in mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, which is the pivot in colorectal cancer (CRC). Upregulated chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) activity contributes to the regulation of metabolism in cancer cells. Previously, we found that sorting
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a primary malignant bone neoplasm with high frequencies of tumor metastasis and recurrence. Although the Akt/PKB signaling pathway is known to play key roles in tumorigenesis, the roles of cyclin-dependent kinase-like 3 (CDKL3) in OS progression remain

Autophagy maintains metabolism in response to starvation, but each nutrient is sensed distinctly. Amino acid deficiency suppresses mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (MTORC1), while glucose deficiency promotes AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). The MTORC1 and AMPK signaling pathways converge onto
