Curated list of Longevity Conferences, where you can explore the latest research and developments in the field of aging and longevity.
A reduction in ATP (energy currency of a cell) activates the AMPK signalling pathway.
The energy currency of a cell is a compound called ATP. Like a currency where money can be used to buy goods, ATP can be consumed by a cell for various activities such as cell growth, movement of molecules within a cell, muscle contraction and DNA replication. This, however, results in a reduction in ATP. But it is this reduction that activates the AMPK signalling pathway. In this video, we will learn more about this pathway, the processes that it regulates and how it fits in with longevity research and health.
