Polyploidy, the existence of cells containing more than one pair of chromosomes, is a well-known feature of mammalian hepatocytes. Polyploid hepatocytes are found either as cells with a single ...

Physiology is the branch of the biological sciences that deals with the life-supporting functions and processes of living organisms or their parts. The study of physiology aims to understand how ...

This important study provides insights into the physiological role of RIPK1 in liver physiology, particularly during short-term fasting. The discovery that RIPK1 deficiency sensitizes the liver to ...

This research topic focusing on homeostasis and—still understudied—allostasis of thyroid function was initiated with the goal that deeper physiological insights in pituitary–thyroid feedback control ...

This study presents an investigation into the physiological functions of RIPK1 within the context of liver physiology, particularly during short-term fasting. Through the use of hepatocyte-specific ...

Gut bacteria-produced exopolysaccharides (EPS) help regulate metabolism by modulating gut microbiota, promoting SCFA ...

Peptides have gained significant attention in research due to their possible role in regulating various physiological ...

Physical activity is not only important for fitness but also for overall health. This is confirmed by a new study, which identified PanK4 as a key regulator of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle, ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

This video demonstrates how the eye works and what happens if someone is long or short sighted.

His team identified PanK4 as a key regulator of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle, regulating glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation and being activated by physical exercise. The study suggests ...
