Badd discovers the surprising role of calcium in shaping the earliest molecular structures of life

The new study conducted by scientists from the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at the Institute of Science Tokyo has discovered the surprising role of calcium in shaping the earliest molecular structures of life. Their discoveries suggest that calcium ions can selectively affect how primitive polymers are formed, throwing light on a long -term secret: how […]

The study discovers molecular mechanisms behind insulin resistance in skeletal muscles

Insulin resistance precedes and predicts the beginning of type 2 diabetes (DM2), a chronic disease that causes high incidence and mortality around the world. In the affected people, insulin is not able to facilitate glucose capture by tissues and organs, which leads to an increase in blood glucose (chronic hyperglycemia). Because the skeletal muscle is […]
