Researchers reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected 'second jobs' within the nucleus, orchestrating critical ...

In mammals, circadian rhythms are controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) – a small part of the ... including a higher risk of cardiometabolic disease and type 2 diabetes. Although these ...

This study provides convincing evidence for functional subpopulations of β-cells responsible for Ca2+ signal initiation and maintenance using novel three-dimensional light sheet microscopy imaging and ...

Type 1 diabetes (also known as diabetes mellitus) is an autoimmune disease in which immune cells attack and destroy the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas. The loss of insulin leads to the ...

Hypoglycemia is an extremely common side effect of insulin therapy experienced mainly by patients with type 1 diabetes ...

No matter what you've heard, you don't love anything with all of your heart. You love from the depths of your ventral tegmental area, your hypothalamus, your nucleus accumbens, and other vital areas ...

It is one of the most important regulators of food intake and energy homeostasis. It comprises several distinct nuclei, among which the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) was the first to be ...

Understanding the mechanics behind transcription-dependent motions of single genes in the nucleus might be critical for understanding the human genome in health and disease." The human genome ...

The researchers analyzed brain volume in key subcortical structures, including the brainstem, hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, nucleus accumbens, putamen, caudate nucleus, globus pallidus and ...

For many years, scientists believed that fundamental particles like protons and neutrons that form an atomic nucleus, can’t be divided further into smaller units. However, in the following years ...

This view of the atomic nucleus changed when James Chadwick discovered the existence of the neutron in 1932, for which he won the Nobel Prize three years later. Not too long afterward, scientists ...
