Transient vitamin B5 starving improves mammalian cell homeostasis and protein production

Nicolas Mermod

Maintaining a metabolic steady state is essential for an organism's fitness and survival when confronted with environmental stress, and metabolic imbalance can be reversed by exposing the organism to fasting. Here, we attempted to apply this physiological ...
