The retrieval of mitochondria via a feedback loop is vital to sustaining synaptic transmission. Read More
The enzyme PHD3 plays a critical role in sensing nutrient availability and regulating the ability of muscles to break down fat. Blocking PHD3 production in mice leads to dramatic improvements in specific measures of fitness. Findings shed light on the key mechanism for how cells metabolize fuel and provide a novel understanding of muscle function and fitness. Read More
A new 3D human gut organoid reveals the molecular system that keeps the intestinal linings sealed and how dysfunction can occur. Findings reveal the diabetes drug metformin can help strengthen the intestinal lining. Read More
