Insight into the mechanism by which insulin promotes glucose uptake by muscle and adipose cells has been provided by the discovery and characterization of synip, an insulin-regulated protein involved ...

Sub-membrane microtubule array, known to prevent excessive glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, depends on kinesin-1 KIF5B, which moves microtubules to both generate and remodel this array, ...

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 ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 76, No. 11 (Nov., 1979), pp. 5529-5533 (5 pages) The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase-mediated ...

Just as smart traffic management ensures smooth vehicular movement during peak hours, our body relies on a molecular traffic system to manage the surge in glucose levels after a meal. Pancreatic ...

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 ...

We are working in conjunction with Dr. Jacob Segil of CU Boulder and Dr. Richard Weir of CU Anschutz on an implantable glucose fuel cell for medical uses. Our team is interested in developing ...

Retrospective comparison between conventional-dose chemotherapy and high-dose chemotherapy for the treatment of relapsed or metastatic germ cell tumors. Background: In the present study we developed a ...

Scientists have uncovered a sweet twist in the body’s fight against cancer. Glucose, best known as the fuel that powers our cells, also helps immune cells called T cells communicate and organize their ...
