Abstract:
Liver cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, ranking fifth in malignant tumors and the third in tumor-related deaths. As a membrane-related protein, the asymmetric distribution of cell fate determinant Numb plays a key role in cell differentiation. Research reports that Numb may be closely associated to the occurrence and development of tumors. Recently, scholars have gradually valued its important role in liver cancer. This article briefly reviews the structure of Numb molecule, relationship between Numb and tumorigenesis, the molecular mechanism of Numb-regulated tumors, and the role of Numb in the development of liver cancer.

Fates of Pyruvate
In aerobic organisms, pyruvate is metabolized via the citric acid cycle to produce reduced coenzymes NADH and FADH2. These coenzymes are then oxidized in the electron transport chain to produce ATP and, in the process, regenerate the NAD+ and FAD. As seen in some cell types and organisms, fermentation...
