ATP dynamics of specialized cells yield new insights into acute kidney injury

Acute kidney injury (AKI) often occurs as a result of ischemia, which is a condition in which blood flow to part of the body is restricted, depriving tissues of oxygen and nutrients. This damage is ...

Confined Cancer Cells Undergo Nuclear ATP Surge, Unlocks Therapy Target

Cancer cells undergo physically constraining processes, such as intravasation, extravasation, and tissue infiltration, that lead to acute mechanical stress. How mechanical confinement rewires the ...

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): The Universal Energy Currency of Living Cells

What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)? Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide that serves as the primary energy carrier in all known living organisms. It consists of three components: the ...

Discovery of how oldest enzyme of cellular respiration works may aid in CO₂ removal

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO 2 and water—a process during which the energy-rich molecule ATP is produced. Cells ...

T-Cell Therapy in Solid Tumors May Be Improved by Enzyme

T cells are not able to create their cellular energy, called adenosine triphosphate or ATP, when they are inside a solid tumor. Now, researchers led by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center may ...
