THE regulation of energy intake is fundamental to all homeostatic mechanisms. Yet this basic process has received less attention than many of the physiologic regulations that it makes possible.Befo ...

The emergence of homeostatic mechanisms that enable maintenance of an intracellular steady state during growth was critical to the advent of cellular life. Here, we show that concentration ...

The model of sleep homeostasis regulation proposed in this study. Prolonged wakefulness activates CaMKII in PV-expressing neurons. The activated CaMKII then activates PV-expressing neurons ...

The research team elucidates a new mechanism by which mechanical loading could directly regulate bone resorption and affect bone homeostasis, which provides a potential new therapeutic target for ...

A biphasic structural plasticity rule interacts with homeostatic synaptic scaling to maintain firing rate homeostasis in neural networks.

Like other homeostatic systems, the mechanism responsible for core temperature regulation involves a specific brain region that communicates with the rest of the body, in this case, via the ...

That's homeostasis. Three things—receptors, an integrating center, ... “If homeostasis wasn’t there, if the mechanisms that are normally there are overwhelmed, ...

Glucose metabolism is an essential bioreaction in the maintenance of life in living organisms. Islet of Langerhans in pancreas (pancreatic islet) is the most important sub-organ in the maintenance of ...

A matter of concentration: molecular mechanisms of water homeostasis. Tokyo Medical and Dental University. Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Funder ...

A pivotal study sheds light on the evolutionary conservation of stem cell homeostasis in Solanaceae, revealing how receptor ...

Homeostasis is the critical biological process through which the constant regulation of biochemical signals and functions is achieved at equilibrium. The most important functions in humans for ...
