Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

When glucose in our blood enters our cells it is broken down via glycolysis to pyruvate. Pyruvate can then be converted to lactic acid and secreted, ending  glycolysis, or into acetyl-CoA and broken down, with the help of oxygen (O 2 ), within mitochondria to carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and water via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS, i.e., the Kreb’s, Citric acid or tricarboxylic acid cycle) 1 .  In 1857 Louis Pasteur discovered that in the absence of O 2 , normal cells survive by switching from OXPHOS, which generates 36 ATPs/glucose, to glycolysis, which only generates 2 ATPs/glucose. In the 1920s, Otto Warburg found that cancer (CA) cells, unlike normal cells, use glycolysis instead of OXPHOS even when O 2 is present, and this is called “aerobic glycolysis” or the ‘Warburg effect’ 1 . Because most tumours use this less efficient energy generating system, they have to take up more blood glucose (BG) than normal cells to survive and this is the basis for identifying human CAs using PET scans with the glucose analog, 18 fluorodeoxyglucose 2

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
