What is metabolism?
Metabolism is the term for the thousands of biochemical reactions involving transfers of matter and / or energy that take place mainly in the body’s cells. It is the process by which your body converts the food and water you consume into all the elements needed by your body and into the energy needed to power everything you do, from moving to thinking to growing. In many diseases, some of these metabolic processes are disturbed. By exploring these disturbed metabolic pathways, MedDay is able to identify new compounds or strategies to improve the function of the central nervous system in people with neurodegenerative disorders.
