PanK4 Identified as Regulator of Glucose and Lipid Metabolism
Physical activity is not only important for fitness but also for overall health. This is confirmed by a new study conducted under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Maximilian Kleinert at the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE). His team identified PanK4 as a key regulator of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle, regulating glucose uptake…

From chaos to order – how robust embryos form
A single egg cell is fertilised – it starts to divide continuously. The young embryo slowly assembles. The initially chaotic cluster of cells gradually develops into highly organised structures. An international research team, including scientists from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), has now gained new insights into this process. The results, which…
