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, ...

New research shows how engineered enzymes and cell-free systems can be combined to recycle CO2 into Acetyl-CoA and other ...

Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a metabolically dynamic niche where cancer cells and immune cells interact to influence tumor progression and immune ...

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays a central role in maintaining energy balance in cells, especially under energy stress. While upstream activation by the kinase LKB1 is well recognized, the ...

Sepsis, a complex syndrome driven by a dysregulated host response to infection, is closely linked to both metabolic and ...
