Metabolic networks come in just four basic types, according to a bioinformatics study in this week?s Science, which also shows that oxygen is required for the largest and most complex networks. The ...

Understanding mitochondrial metabolism may change how Alzheimer’s disease is identified and treated. Sarah Flowers, a neuroscientist at the University of Virginia, measures oxygen consumption to ...

In 2011, the Metabolism Core continued under the newly funded Nutrition Obesity Research Center (NORC). The Core is equipped with two IRMS (Optima and Delta-V) for measurement of enrichment of ...

Coral reef research has focused on the twin evils birthed by record-high greenhouse gas emissions: warming oceans and ...

Metabolic rates can vary depending on physiological states. The circulatory system and respiratory system play a crucial role in ensuring efficient delivery of oxygen to cells around the body.

Here are seven amazing animals that do not require oxygen to survive.

It takes almost 220 micromoles of oxygen per hour for a 100-gram octopus to keep its chromatophore system functioning and to change colour. By comparison, maintaining its whole metabolism at rest ...

As reported in Biophotonics Discovery, the team developed a novel microscopy technique that uses a standard fluorescence microscope in combination with imaging software. This method allows scientists ...

Most life on Earth relies on the sun’s energy for survival, but what about organisms in the deep sea that live beyond the ...
