Aging and neurodegeneration are both known to disrupt the production of functional proteins in cells – a process called "proteostasis," or protein homeostasis.

Homeostatic Hunger Homeostatic hunger, which is the most ancestral mechanism controlling hunger, involves the brain–gut axis — specifically, the hypothalamus–gut axis.

He says that organisms with more evolved homeostatic mechanisms generally have more independence than those with more primitive systems. Turtles, for instance, have a more pared-down version.

A pivotal study sheds light on the evolutionary conservation of stem cell homeostasis in Solanaceae, revealing how receptor compensation mechanisms ensure the continuous and orderly formation of ...

It is assumed that the brain has homeostatic mechanisms to prevent the depletion of cellular energy, required for all cellular activities. For example, the blood flow increases, and oxygen and ...

The researchers believe that low-arousal states such as sleep and anesthesia expose failures in a mechanism that regulates stability of brain activity in the early, pre-symptomatic stage of ...

The team suggests that rapid synaptic scaling, an important mechanism in homeostatic plasticity, is something that must occur in order for rapid antidepressant action to occur.
