Glycolysis is an important sugar degradation pathway that cancer cells in particular depend on. Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have now shown that liver cancer cells in mice ...
Vascular endothelial cells (ECs) sense and respond to hemodynamic forces such as pulsatile shear stress (PS) and oscillatory shear stress (OS). Among the metabolic pathways, glycolysis is ...
In a bid to better understand how cancer cells power their explosive growth and spread, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have shed new light on the location and function of ...
The Warburg effect describes how cancer cells switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis even in oxygen-rich ...
The researchers say it was taught in biochemistry class for many decades that glycolysis occurred uniformly in the cytosol, or the fluid matrix of the cell. But when the Johns Hopkins team examined ...
The very cells that created us may have a role in saving our lives. Scientists have always been amazed by the energy production system in a sperm’s tail. The system drives flagellar movement and is ...
Axon damage is an early sign of neurodegenerative diseases like, ALS, Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's. Researchers found that nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyl transferase 2, or NMNAT2, can ...
The simple sugar D-mannose may treat chronic gum disease by affecting how certain cells function, possibly changing gene activity related to immune response. This study was recently published in BMC ...
