A recent study from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has shed light on how this glucose traffic management goes wrong ...

Just as smart traffic management ensures smooth vehicular movement during peak hours, our body relies on a molecular traffic ...

GLUT plays a key role in diabetes since insulin works by activating the uptake of glucose from the blood by means of GLUT transporters in the cell membrane.

In people with Type 2 diabetes, this traffic system falters. The IISc team found that fewer glucose transporters reach the ...

One important group of membrane transporters is the GLUT family, which introduces glucose and other sugars into the cell. Glucose is one of the most important energy sources for cancer cells and ...
