For much of nutrition science history, trace minerals were discussed almost exclusively in the context of deficiency diseases. Iodine prevented goiter, iron prevented anemia, and zinc supported growth ...

Every year, thousands of biochemistry majors and medical students around the world learn to memorize the major biochemical pathways that allow cells to function. How these 10 or so pathways are ...

Researchers report on a newly discovered biochemical pathway that protects cells from a type of cell death called ferroptosis. The hallmarks of cancer include rapid cell reproduction and metabolic ...

Much of what scientists think about soil metabolism may be wrong. New evidence suggests that microbes in different soils use different biochemical pathways to process nutrients, respire, and grow. The ...

The landscape of peptide-based research continues to broaden as investigators pursue compounds capable of interacting with molecular networks involved in cellular communication, structural maintenance ...

Bipolar disorder affects millions of Americans, causing dramatic swings in mood and, in some people, additional effects such as memory problems. While bipolar disorder is linked to many genes, each ...

Researchers are exploring a new generation of biochemical markers that may help clinicians detect myocardial contusion. A frequently overlooked form of heart injury caused by blunt chest trauma, ...
