Description Microbial metabolism represents one of the most chemically diverse and functionally complex systems in nature. Despite decades of research, a ...

The TO_AITION project, completed this month (December 2025), has been investigating the biological causes of inflammation linking cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and depression, and has used a wide ...

The development and progression of type 2 diabetes are affected by numerous biological processes, such as the body's response to insulin, the health of insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells, and the ...

A recent study has identified pathways that may connect insulin resistance, leptin dysregulation, brain structure and ...

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, ...

Ordinary differential equation (ODE) models are powerful tools for studying the dynamics of metabolic pathways. However, key challenges lie in constructing ODE models for metabolic pathways, ...

As an assist to his students back in 1960, microbiologist Donald Nicholson sketched out a big chart of metabolic pathways; he thought it would help them to have it pinned up on a wall for ready ...

Even after years of smoking, the body has a remarkable ability to repair itself. Now in a study appearing in ACS' Journal of Proteome Research, scientists report that certain metabolic changes occur ...
