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 ...

Iron metabolism represents a key area of cancer research, as iron is crucial for cellular proliferation and many metabolic processes. Tumors often exhibit ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

A high concentration of indolepropionic acid in the serum protects against type 2 diabetes, shows a new study from the University of Eastern Finland. Indolepropionic acid is a metabolite produced by ...

More than 200 metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found sitting directly on top of human DNA, according to a study published in ...

A 44-blood metabolite signature may help predict type 2 diabetes (T2D) beyond traditional risk factors, according to a new study based on data from more than 20,000 individuals without baseline ...

Researchers have found evidence of nuclear metabolic enzymes for the first time, contributing to our understanding of cancer ...

Sugar metabolism refers to the process by which the body breaks down carbohydrates into sugars, including glucose and fructose. The body uses these sugars as a source of energy. The body metabolizes ...

The definition is tricky, but the effects of poor metabolic health are clear — and can wreak havoc on the body. By Nina Agrawal “Metabolic health” is a wellness catchphrase that is hard to escape.
