LDs (lipid droplets) are cellular organelles which can be found in nearly all eukaryotic cells. Despite their importance in cell biology, the mechanism underlying LD biogenesis remains largely unknown. In the present study we report that conditions ... Read more...
Prohibitin couples diapause signalling to mitochondrial metabolism during ageing in C. elegans.
6 Oct 2009 Marked alterations in cellular energy metabolism are a universal hallmark of the ageing process. The biogenesis and function of mitochondria, the energy-generating organelles in eukaryotic cells, are primary longevity determinants. Genetic or ... Read more...
23 Sep 2009 The hypothesis that PDHK4 (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoenzyme 4) has potential as a target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes was tested by feeding wild-type and PDHK4 knockout mice a high saturated fat diet that induces hyperglycemia, ... Read more...
