Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 1 (STAT1) regulates energy metabolic pathways in tumors, predominantly via glycolytic genes, suggesting a role for STAT1 as a transcriptional modulator of genes involved in "Warburg effect" cancer cell energy production.
BMC Medicine 2009, 7 :67
HIV-infected children successfully adhere to the prophylactic medication for tuberculosis isoniazid regardless of whether this is administered daily or three times a week, although an intermittent regimen may prove more cost-effective.

Neutral lipid and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are significantly altered between patients with probable sporadic Alzheimer
s disease and controls, and could provide potential diagnostic markers for patients and also asymptomatic people at risk.
