Everolimus blocks a protein called mTOR, while metformin blocks part of the mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of cells. They found that everolimus reduced products of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, a key energy-producing process, and inhibited an enzyme called pyruvate carboxylase. In contrast, metformin has little effect on glycolysis ...
Mitochondria are a unique type of organelle present within cells, serving as the primary source of energy within living organisms. They are responsible for several life-sustaining processes, including energy production, reducing free radicals, and maintaining cellular signaling. ...
Metabolic Disease Models Metabolic diseases encompass a wide range of conditions characterized by abnormal chemical reactions in the body, affecting its ability to process food into energy. There are multiple metabolic disease models developed to assist in studying these complex disorders. ...
Diverse microbial communities play a vital role in the different biochemical processes and energy production and occupy a particular niche in the environment. ...
Enzymes, nature's molecular architects, have been at the heart of industrial processes for decades. Today, the dynamic field of Enzyme Engineering and Modification is driving these biocatalysts towards unprecedented capabilities, triggering a wave of transformative applications across diverse sectors. ...
Fusion vs Fission Nuclear fission is a reaction in which a uranium-235 nucleus absorbs an extra neutron that quickly breaks it into two smaller nuclei while releasing a large amount of energy and excess neutrons. Most nuclear reactors around the world are used specifically for producing that energy, as it is transformed into electricity. ...
On March 11, 2019, scientists at the University of California Berkeley (UC Berkeley) published a study on nature microbiology on the gut anatomical properties of the passalid beetle that helps it transform decaying wood into energy-rich materials. Passalid beetles’ digestive tracts contain microbes that provide a roadmap for the production of affordable, nature-derived ...
