Researchers reveal insulin resistance may be driven by insulin degradation during transit in the bloodstream, challenging the belief that cell defects are the primary cause.

Other signaling molecules must move much farther ... Dopamine receptors bind dopamine, insulin receptors bind insulin, nerve growth factor receptors bind nerve growth factor, and so on.

In 2021, a research team led by Prof. Heiko Lickert from Helmholtz Munich discovered the insulin-inhibitory receptor "Inceptor" and its role as a suppressor of the insulin signaling pathway.

In the case of mitochondrial recycling, this works as follows: If sufficient energy is available, a signal is transmitted ...
