There are "costs of life" that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific biochemical processes active—such as those that make up photosynthesis, ...

Galactose metabolism in humans is principally governed by the Leloir pathway, which converts dietary galactose into glucose-1-phosphate via the sequential action of galactokinase, ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a surprising link between a tiny cellular engine and the way cancer cells build the DNA they need to proliferate, according to a new study published in ...

The study of pediatric metabolic diseases often highlights the complexity of biochemical pathways and physiological processes disrupted in young patients.

Papers from an International Workshop on Crassulacean Acid Metabolism, held at Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Republic of Panama, Mar. 21-26, 1993. 6. Regulation of Crassulacean Acid ...

By revealing metabolic vulnerabilities in fibrolamellar cancer, the research opens the door to targeted therapies that could ...

Cancer cells that rely on vitamin B2 metabolism gain a built-in defense against ferroptosis, an iron-driven form of cell ...

Endometriosis is a disease that affects up to one in ten women of reproductive age and it remains a painful disorder that often leads to infertility. Despite major research efforts, its exact ...

A new study used pathway-level blood metabolomics to identify lifestyle-associated metabolic patterns linked to physical, cognitive, and daily functional performance across CN, MCI, and AD. The ...

A new international clinical intervention study published in Clinical Nutrition reveals the molecular and transcriptomic mechanisms through which a dietary intervention may beneficially influence gene ...
