Jantana Keereetaweep, a biochemistry research associate in the biology department at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been awarded the Paul K. Stumpf Award for her ...

We know very well that metabolites—small molecules such as lipids, sugars, nucleotides, and amino acids—play a large role in cellular biochemistry. But we are only beginning to understand the many ...

This project explores how a specific group of lipids, key membrane components and dynamic signaling molecules, shape cellular fate by regulating both senescence and cell death. Project is Not ...

Cortisol, a fundamental glucocorticoid hormone, orchestrates a wide array of physiological processes critical to the stress response. Its secretion—modulated by the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA ...

Fructose aids tumour growth, but cancer cells usually lack the enzymes needed to metabolize this sugar. The liver converts dietary fructose to lipids that enter the blood, and cancer cells use the ...

For centuries arsenic has been synonymous with poison and peril. However, it is also ubiquitous in the Earth’s crust, and runoff from natural deposits and industrial processes has spread it throughout ...

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen are the first in the world to develop a secure way of measuring the important protein apo-M. This could prove relevant for research into diseases such as ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...
