The energy sensor AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is crucial for energy homeostasis. Recent studies have revealed that AMPK is involved in various energy-intensive pathological processes such as ...

The increasing number of individuals with obesity and diabetes has made understanding the regulation of food intake and energy balance a focus of many researchers. One aspect of such research is ...

BUFFALO, NY- March 7, 2023 – Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) published a new research paper in Volume 15, Issue 4, entitled, “Isoform-specific ...

Dr. Tao Ma and colleagues synthesize emerging evidence on AMPKα isoforms, proposing isoform-specific targeting as a novel therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias ...

Researchers at the Salk Institute report they might have solved the long-standing mystery around how the protein complex AMPK can both hinder and help cancer. The lab of Reuben Shaw, Ph.D., director ...

AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) is often dubbed the "metabolic master switch”: Inhibits Excess Fat Storage: AMPK works to block carbs from turning into new fat deposits, so ...

The basic unit of all living things is the cell – and the human body contains tens of trillions of them. Cancer can be triggered by the abnormal growth and division of just one of these, which goes on ...

Scientists studying neuronal energy metabolism found evidence that the loss of an important energy regulator called AMPK in neural stem cells or glial cells called astrocytes causes neuronal death in ...

Melkani’s lab study, titled "Time-restricted feeding promotes muscle function through purine cycle and AMPK signaling in Drosophila obesity models,” was recently published in Nature Communications.
