For cancer- and infection-fighting T cells, glucose offers far more than a simple sugar rush. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. A new discovery by Van Andel Institute ...

3D electron tomography reveals glycogen particles (purple) clustered on the surface of lipid droplets (yellow), closely associated with endoplasmic reticulum membranes (blue) and mitochondria (red), ...

One of the hallmarks of cancer cell development is its dependence on sugar, especially glucose, to grow and divide. Scientists have long been studying how to restrict or block this process that ...

For more than a century cancer cell metabolism has been viewed as something of a paradox, but newly reported research by scientists at Washington University in St. Louis shows that it might not be ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New research reveals how hypoxia-driven red blood cell adaptations may reshape glucose regulation, offering fresh insight into diabetes biology and potential therapeutic ...

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 ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low oxygen levels—such as those found at high altitudes. One of the most striking ...

AI‑enabled electronic mesh guides the maturation and coordination of lab‑grown islet cells, offering a potential new path toward future diabetes therapies.
