A global research collaboration has revealed how certain gut cells switch on pain signals, which can linger long after the ...

In particular, they looked at the energy requirements of these cells during ischemia-reperfusion injury. Podocytes are suggested to rely on adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy carrier in ...

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate, or ATP, is the most abundant energy carrier molecule in cells. This molecule is made of a nitrogen base (adenine), a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.

ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy-carrying molecule used in cells because it can release energy very quickly. Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate is removed. Once ATP has ...

The proton gradients that power respiration are as universal as the genetic code itself, giving an insight into the origin of life and the singular origin of complexity. Why do virtually all cells ...

In the June issue of Cancer Letters, the research team reported that bullatacin preferentially killed the multidrug-resistant cells by inhibiting the production of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. ATP ...

Mitochondria organelles came from primordial bacterial endosymbionts and still preserve distinct genes for important functions like making ATP. To speed the emerging therapeutic research into the ...

The enzyme which makes ATP is called ATP synthase, or ATPase, and sits on the mitochondria in animal cells or chloroplasts in plant cells. Walker first determined the amino acid sequence of this ...

A team of researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC has unlocked the details of a cellular pathway that triggers cellular inflammation and aging and is linked to Alzheimer's disease, ...
