Metabolic pathways, such as mitochondrial function, glycolysis, lipid synthesis, glutaminolysis, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activation, are involved in the development of renal diseases ...
Crossing TRGL mice with a model of a neurodegenerative disease, the Q175 mouse model of HD, has enabled us to assess disease-related autophagy alterations in the Q175 and TRGL/Q175 models and their ...
Under normal circumstances, a protein called the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) helps remove cholesterol from the bloodstream by transporting it into liver cells for breakdown. In individuals ...
