Metabolic dysfunction: The liver and beyond

Written by

Philipp Kaldis and colleagues have conducted extensive research to elucidate the mechanisms of liver diseases, focusing on metabolism and interorgan crosstalk.

The liver is the centre of our metabolism, with metabolic dysfunction playing a pivotal role in liver diseases and type 2 diabetes. Despite extensive study, the mechanisms underlying these pathologies remain largely unexplained. Professor Philipp Kaldis of Lund University, Sweden, has collaborated with fellow researchers to investigate the role of metabolites during metabolic dysfunction in these diseases. Motivated by the goal […]

Unravelling the secrets of the cell with suspended microchannel resonators

Written by

Researchers can learn much about the properties of many materials simply by weighing them. In cell biology, repeatedly measuring the mass of a cell reveals how fast the cell grows. However, this is very challenging: the mass of a single-cell is extremely difficult to measure with enough accuracy and without perturbing the cell. The laboratory of Dr Scott Manalis at […]
