Powering medical implants can be tricky, but tapping into the body’s own fuel source could keep them going long-term. A new design for a tiny fuel cell converts glucose into electricity to power ...

Enhancing glucose uptake in specific glial cells significantly reduced these harmful effects, highlighting a potential new therapeutic direction for slowing neurodegenerative processes.

Dr. Perrier: "We are getting closer to the goal of developing a standard treatment for diabetes that could one day make ...

Cells import the sugar glucose for the process of glycolysis, ... a structure in the developing embryo that marks the beginning of gastrulation.

It's because cancer cells are perfectly willing to switch to another fuel source – uridine (Figure 1). Figure 1. (L) Glucose, the primary fuel of the body. (R) The chemical structure of uridine ...

The sugar glucose, which is the main source of energy in almost every living cell, has been revealed in a Stanford Medicine study to also be a master regulator of tissue differentiation - the ...

One of the hallmarks of cancer cell development is its dependence on sugar, especially glucose, to grow and divide. Scientists have long been studying how to restrict or block this process that ...

Glucose is absorbed directly across the lining of the small intestine into your bloodstream, which delivers it to your cells (5, 6). It raises blood sugar more quickly than other sugars, which ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia*) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An ...
