Aerobic glycolysis, the process by which cells transform glucose into lactate, is key for eye development in mammals, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study published in Nature Communications.

Glycolysis is a series of reactions that helpextract energy from glucose. This is an ancient pathway of metabolism that is present in the majority of living organisms today. It is the foundation of ...

New research shows Glycolysis -- the process of converting sugar into energy -- plays a key role in early development. More than fuel, Glycolysis doesn't just power cells -- it helps steer them toward ...

When I joined medical school as a teacher/student, I was mildly surprised to hear that biochemistry had a "bad rep" on campus. Many people told me that they felt that if they could get through ...

Learning metabolism inevitably involves memorizing pathways. The teacher's challenge is to motivate memorization and to help students progress beyond it. To this end, students should be taught a few ...

Dogma says that brain metabolism slows down with age: Blood flow, and the total demand for fuel in the form of glucose, decline with passing years. A new study shows that waning glucose uptake is just ...
