Key protein in cellular respiration discovered

eurekalert.org

Many diseases derive from problems with cellular respiration, the process through which cells extract energy from nutrients. Researchers at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have now discovered a new function for a protein in the mitochondrion -- popularly called the cell's power station -- that plays a key part in cell respiration.

New evidence is helping explain additional health benefits of aspirin

labspaces.net — “Researchers in Canada, Scotland and Australia have discovered that salicylate, the active ingredient in aspirin, directly increases the activity of the protein AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase), a key player in regulating cell growth and metabolism. AMPK which is considered a cellular fuel-gauge is switched on by exercise and the commonly used anti-diabetic medication metformin.View full resource at labspaces.net
