Direct Evidence for Glucose Consumption Acceleration by Carbonates in Cultured Cells

This study shows that NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 directly regulate glucose metabolism in cultured rat fibroblast cells by affecting glucose consumption and lactate production.

The most primitive extant ancestor of organisms and discovery of definitive evolutionary equations

The paper identifies Monosiga brevicollis mitochondria as the most primitive extant ancestor and derives a definitive equation governing nucleotide content changes in genomes.
