New research has identified a biological mechanism that may explain why people living at higher elevations tend to develop ...

Solid tumors often provide a challenging environment for the T cells of our immune system. By reprogramming the metabolism of T cells, scientists at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology and ...

A science-backed deep dive into how creatine enhances muscle growth, supports brain health, and improves mood, memory, and ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...

A small molecule inside your body quietly fuels life every day. It helps your cells turn fat into energy, keeping your heart ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection ...

Terahertz (THz) radiation is increasingly explored for biomedical applications, however, its non-thermal effects on cellular metabolism and regulatory networks remain insufficiently characterized.

Diamond nanoparticles containing nitrogen-vacancy centers can now monitor cellular metabolism in real time, targeting specific organelles while tracking particle movement inside living cells.

Vitamin D is not only an essential nutrient but is also the precursor of the hormone calcitriol, which regulates the uptake of phosphate and calcium necessary for bones by the intestines, as well as ...
