Measuring Glycolytic Function in Cells
... Glycolysis is used by virtually all cell types and is an important cellular function in a variety of research areas. For example, dividing cells rely heavily on glycolysis, and it has been shown to play a significant role in both normal cellular processes such as immune cell activation as well as ce ...
