The cellular molecular motors save energy

Discovery of the mechanism by which cell car engines inhibit its operation to save energy. Molecular motors, in most cell types, work to carry an internal load, as the organelles associated with energy production and transport of nutrients, including the entire cell. We have now discovered how these molecular motors fall into a way of [...]

Peculiarities of the enzymes

All living things have chemicals that are involved in multiple cellular processes, some of these substances are enzymes. The catalysts of biological reactions are known by the name of enzymes, biological catalysts or biocatalysts, formerly called ferments. Enzymes are proteinaceous compounds are produced intra-and extracellularly and are essential for all metabolic processes of living organisms. [...]

Cell regeneration as an alternative to transplantation

The discovery of stem cells in the heart may be a radical change in infarcted patients chances of avoiding the risks of transplant. The stem cells, stem cells or stem cells are those that can divide indefinitely while retaining the ability to transform into cells of more than 200 different tissues of the body, ie [...]
