Metabolism research, explained
8 open-access metabolism studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- What extreme physiologies does the painted turtle genome encode?
The western painted turtle genome informs evolution of extreme anoxia and freeze tolerance in a slowly evolving vertebrate lineage.
- What can a wild Medicago genome teach about stress tolerance?
A highly complete Medicago ruthenica genome provides genetic resources for environmental-stress tolerance missing from yield-focused cultivated alfalfa.
- How does ZFP36 reshape metabolism after growth signals?
Growth factors induce ZFP36, which binds and decays metabolic enzyme/transporter mRNAs—especially Eno2—tuning glycolytic metabolism.
- Salmon fat-cell differentiation transcriptome
Atlantic salmon adipose SVF cells progress through proliferative then adipogenic expression programs.
- Does the MEP pathway feed ginsenoside production?
Transcriptomics implicates the chloroplastic MEP pathway—highlighting IspD—in ginsenoside biosynthesis beyond the classic MVA route.
- Folliculin tunes mTORC1 toward TFE3
FLCN–RagC signaling makes mTORC1 substrate-selective for TFE3 phosphorylation under amino-acid cues.
- How do Cryptosporidium oocysts survive outside hosts?
Oocyst transcriptomes reveal metabolic features that help Cryptosporidium parvum endure environmental stresses without nutrient supply.
- Aloe vera medicinal pathway transcriptome
De novo root and leaf transcriptomes highlight saponin and anthraquinone metabolism genes.
