The very first cells obtained their energy from geochemical reactions. LMU researchers have now managed to recreate this ancient metabolic process in their laboratory. Most likely, the earliest ...

Glycation, the binding of a sugar molecule to a protein or lipid; and oxidation, where an excess of reactive oxygen species causes cell and tissue damage, are both metabolic processes linked to ageing ...

Your metabolism plays a key role in how your body converts food into energy. Finding natural ways to give it a little boost ...

Looking at life today, it is difficult to imagine how complex biological processes and structures could have developed from simple building blocks. All cellular processes and reactions appear to be ...

An intestinal pathogen reshapes the gut environment to fuel its own colonization and cause diseases, a multi-institutional team including researchers at Vanderbilt Health has discovered. The ...

Intermittent fasting has transformed millions of lives by creating powerful metabolic shifts that accelerate fat burning throughout the body. However, the foods consumed during eating windows can ...

A new study from EMBL Barcelona researchers shows that metabolic activities selectively modulate the segmentation clock, which varies depending on the species. Embryonic development is a rigorously ...

Are you a night owl who, no matter how healthily you eat, struggles with weight or energy? The problem might not be what you'r eating. New research found that evening chronotypes, ...

How strongly does our metabolism influence thinking? This question has been examined by Dr. Philipp Haueis, a philosopher of science at Bielefeld University, in a recent publication in the journal ...

Aging is a biological process that no one can avoid. Ideally, growing old should be a time to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Aging also has a darker side, however, often linked to disease.
