Abstract:
Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer cell metabolism. Recently, in Cancer Cell, Ye and colleagues (2018) reported that leukemic cells have the capacity to modulate glucose metabolism in multiple organs of their host, thereby increasing the glucose resources available for malignant cell growth.

Second Order systems II
First Order Systems
When a first-order system is subjected to a unit-step input, its response is characterized by its transfer function. By applying the Laplace transform of the unit-step input to the transfer function, expanding the...
Second Order systems I
By reinterpreting the system, one can derive the closed-loop transfer function, which...
