ATP serves as the energy currency of cells and fuels various biological processes. Cellular respiration occurs in multiple stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Mitochondria are double membrane bound cytoplasmic organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. They are responsible for aerobic respiration, which they achieve through oxidative phosphorylation.

On May 4, 2023, a new research perspective was published in Oncotarget, entitled, “Targeting cellular respiration as a therapeutic strategy in glioblastoma.” ...

The oxidation of NADH2 and FADH2 are fundamental since NAD and FAD are the key components of the TCA-cycle that is critical to entertain biosynthesis in cancer cells. The TCA-cycle itself is ...

Whole cell respiration rates were measured polarographically during agitated cultivation of Naegleria fowleri. During log growth, amebae consumed 30 ng atoms O/min/mg cell protein. The ameba's ...
