[ad_1] For their growth, cells need various nutrients and vitamins. So-called solute carriers (SLCs), proteins capable of transporting these substances across the boundaries of cell membranes, play a central role in metabolism. Scientists from Giulio Superti-Furga’s research group at the CeMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy …
