86 results about "Catabolism" patented technology

Catabolism (/kəˈtæbəlɪsm/) is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions. Catabolism breaks down large molecules (such as polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins) into smaller units (such as monosaccharides, fatty acids, nucleotides, and amino acids, respectively). Catabolism is the breaking-down aspect of metabolism, whereas anabolism is the building-up aspect.

Application of pentenedioic acid in enhancing anti-tumor effect of T cells through metabolic reprogramming

The invention provides application of pentenedioic acid (GC) in enhancing the anti-tumor effect of T cells through metabolic reprogramming, and belongs to the technical field of biological medicine. It is found that in the tumor development process, GC is supplemented in an exogenous mode, tumor growth can be rapidly inhibited, and the anti-tumor effect depends on a TME regulation and control mechanism. Through GC treatment, the TME immune landscape can be significantly remodeled; gC treatment not only can enhance the effector function of the CD8 + T cells, but also can delay the depletion process of the CD8 + T cells; and the infiltration CD8 + T cells in the tumor of the GC treatment group are obviously increased. Particularly, after the CD8-resistant antibody is used for removing mouse CD8 + T cells, the anti-tumor effect of GC completely disappears, and it is confirmed that the tumor inhibition effect depends on the CD8 + T cells. Therefore, the invention proves that the lysine catabolic metabolite GC, as an immunostimulatory metabolite, can shape the immune activated TME by reactivating the functions of tumor infiltrating CD8 + T cells.

System for valve-based wastewater treatment control through microorganism metabolic pathway optimization

Increased control and efficiency over the wastewater purification can be achieved by allowing to selectively prioritize catabolic over anabolic processes via prioritization of the digestive function of microorganism in the activated sludge. The gas-dispersion return sludge is created using pure oxygen or oxygen containing trace amounts of ozone, which is blended with return sludge to create a mixture of gas and liquid, which is passed through an atomizer or a pump to instantly render the reactive gas to an ultra-fine bubble state. At least a portion of the ultra-fine bubbles dissolve within the sludge, raising oxygen to a critical level within a short time, activating the dormant microorganisms. The microorganisms accumulate enough cATP upon initial encounter with the pollutants to prioritize their digestive function, and when exposed to pollutants present in wastewater, digest the pollutants using biochemical pathways different from the ones used in nature.
