All living things depend on millions of chemical reactions that happen constantly. Chemical reactions that keep you alive happen fast! When you eat food, breathe, play, and grow, all of these are ...

Like the parts of a car that make it go, enzymes in living cells can eventually wear out or break over time, and researchers at The University of Western Australia have now discovered what determines ...

Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the gold standard treatment for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). It creates the enzymes your pancreas can’t make using digestive enzymes. PERT ...

Enzymes from cold-loving organisms that live at low temperatures, close to the freezing point of water, display highly distinctive properties. Scientists have now used large-scale computations to ...

The liver and pancreas are organs in the upper abdomen. The liver is vital for metabolism, detoxification, digestion, and more. The pancreas produces essential enzymes and hormones. Together, they ...

Enzymes known as kinases play a critical role in cell growth, metabolism and signaling in a multitude of organisms across the tree of life—from algae to helminths to mammals. Now, scientists have ...

Scientists uncover a molecular weakness that could transform prostate cancer therapy. An international team of researchers has identified a new weakness in prostate cancer cells that could enhance ...

Your pancreas sits behind your stomach. It produces enzymes and hormones that help you digest food and that regulate blood sugar. (Science Photo Library/Getty Images) Your pancreas is shaped like an ...

Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the main treatment for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). PERT replaces the digestive enzymes that the pancreas does not produce or release. EPI ...
