HubMOL is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network funded by Horizon Europe.

The hub molecules of life comprise a set of cofactors that are crucial for all cellular functions. They are well known for their central roles in both metabolism and signalling. Still, our limited knowledge of the crosstalk and the reciprocal connectivity between key metabolic and signal transduction pathways and the dynamic interplay of hub molecules is currently hampering their exploitation. Imbalances in hub ...

MESI-STRAT: Systems Medicine of Metabolic-Signaling Networks -A New Concept for Breast Cancer Patient Stratification. Breast cancer is a complex disease with high prevalence in the European Union and world-wide. 75%-80 of the patients have estrogen receptor-positive (ER)-positive tumors and are treated with endocrine therapies. Endocrine therapies, which block ER-driven tumor growth, show high efficacy. Yet, a significant proportion of the patients will eventually relapse with metastatic breast ...

Most biological processes require energy and are tightly regulated. Energy is extracted from food supplies and eventually transformed into ATP, the universal energy carrier of the cell. These pathways consist of many reactions which involve NAD or NADP, small molecules which serve as intermediate energy transmitters. Vitamin B3 is essential for the synthesis of these nucleotides. Interestingly, the key molecules in energy transduction also have important roles in the regulation of all vital ...
