Tissues surrounding hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) lack glucose. Hepatocyte selection medium (HSM) is deficient in glucose and is supplemented with galactose. HCC cells were cultured in HSM to investigate the stem cell markers α-fetoprotein (AFP) and cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44).

Protein glycosylation is arguably the paramount post-translational modification on recombinant glycoproteins, and highly cited in the literature for affecting the physiochemical properties and the efficacy of recombinant glycoprotein therapeutics. Glycosylation of human immunoglobulins follows a reasonably well-understood metabolic pathway, which

Axenic Pistia stratiotes L. plants were pulse-chase labeled with [14C]oxalic acid, L[1-14C]ascorbic acid, L-6-14C]ascorbic acid, D-[1-14C]erythorbic acid, L-[1-14C]galactose, or [1-14C]glycolate. Specific radioactivities of L-ascorbic acid (AsA), free oxalic acid (OxA) and calcium oxalate (CaOx) in labeled plants were compared. Samples
