AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy-sensing enzyme, counteracts energy depletion by stimulation of energy production and limitation of energy utilization. On energy depletion, erythrocytes undergo suicidal death ...
Tubulointerstitial fibrosis is a common hallmark of chronic kidney disease caused by diabetes, hypertension, ischemia, renal injury and obstructive uropathy. The hetereotrimeric AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) consists ...
Regeneration after injury occurs in axons that lie in the peripheral nervous system but it fails in the central nervous system limiting functional recovery. Despite recent progress, to date we ignore the molecular identity ...
