Metabolic pathways consist of a series of biochemical reactions in cells that convert a starting component into other products. There is growing evidence that metabolic pathways coupled with external ...

UK researchers have, for the first time, identified a genetic pathway in the brain that plays a key role in controlling anxiety, opening the door to the development of more effective treatments in the ...

In mammals, the liver can repair and regenerate after damage or injury through at least two biochemical pathways. Now scientists have identified genes that are crucial to liver regeneration; some are ...
