IN those species of bacteria examined which oxidize glucose but are incapable of attacking it anaerobically, it has been shown that glucose breakdown proceeds by a pathway other than through the ...

A key enzyme in sugar metabolism is inactivated particularly easily and efficiently by oxidative stress. Scientists at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) have ...

Chemical engineers have designed a novel genetic switch that allows them to dramatically boost bacteria cells' production of useful chemicals by shutting competing metabolic pathways in the cells. The ...

Accelerated glucose uptake and metabolism, known as the Warburg effect, is a feature of a small group of non-dividing cells within a colon cancer tumor. Intestinal cancer cells rely on Warburg ...

Sugar metabolism refers to the process by which the body breaks down carbohydrates into sugars, including glucose and fructose. The body uses these sugars as a source of energy. The body metabolizes ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American The Hallmarks of Cancer are ten underlying ...

How our bodies handle glucose—the simple sugar that provides energy from the food we eat—appears to be intertwined with how cells keep themselves functioning normally, according to new University of ...
