The Heinemann Lab at the University of Groningen (Netherlands) aims to understand how cellular metabolism functions and how metabolism controls other cellular processes. The lab has recently found that cellular metabolism does not operate beyond a certain Gibbs energy dissipation rate (Niebel et al, 2019, Nature Metabolism). This observation could explain why cancer cells use … Read more
