Consequently, it maintains the physiological balance of Zn absorption by precisely regulating the homeostasis of ZIP12 protein. Zn, often referred to as "the flower of life" and "the source of ...

Scientists have the technology to grow humans in Petri dishes, but they say there are better uses for it: to combat aging.

Vitamin D is crucial in preventing and treating colorectal cancer by reducing inflammation, regulating immune responses, ...

A new study shows that when energy is depleted—such as during a stroke—neurons begin releasing glutamate in abnormal, self-amplifying bursts that can damage nerve cells.

This, along with analysis of parameters regulating mineral ion homeostasis were used to generate the new DRIs. Evidence for a role of supplemental vitamin D or calcium on non-skeletal outcomes was ...

These findings suggest that the interaction between GluN2B and CaMKIIα may be critical in the pathophysiological processes of SE, influencing the levels of p-CaMKIIα and calcium ion homeostasis.

The use of calcium carbide for fruit ripening is banned in India. The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has prohibited its use due to health concerns associated with the ...

Hypocalcemia, or low levels of calcium in the blood, can lead to calcium deficiency symptoms such as muscle aches and fatigue. To boost calcium levels, a doctor may recommend eating more calcium ...

Cell crowding causes high-grade breast cancer cells to become more invasive by activating a molecular switch that causes the cells to shrink and spread.

Review highlights how vitamin D, particularly its active form calcitriol, modulates immune responses, inflammation, and tumor ...

This useful study reports a method to detect and analyze a novel post-translational modification, lysine acetoacetylation (Kacac), finding it regulates protein metabolism pathways. The study unveils ...
