These mRNA strands then enter ribosomes, the cell’s protein factories, where the instructions are used to assemble chains of ...

Glutamate transporters are able to uptake neurotransmitter glutamate from synaptic cleft and maintain its concentration at low level ( < 1 μM) thus to protect neurons from excitotoxicity caused by Glu ...

Glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, depends on the amino acid serine as a fuel source. A serine-deficient diet has been shown to slow tumour growth in mice. Daniel Mobilio is in the Centre for ...

On Jan. 10, Chinese scientists uploaded the genetic sequence of a novel coronavirus, later named SARS-CoV-2, to an open-access website, GenBank. The virus had been linked to a growing number of ...

Life depends on a partnership between RNA, which stores instructions, and proteins, which do the work of building and running cells. But how this partnership began has long puzzled scientists. To make ...

Amino acids have long been known to improve the stability and solubility of proteins; they might be added to medications to keep them stable ... | Cell And Molecular Biology ...

University of Michigan researchers published a study in September, revealing that brain tumors rewire the use of glucose to ...

Biologists have long known that amino acids can help stabilize proteins, for example as additives to pharmaceutical formulations. In trying to understand why this works, EPFL and MIT researchers have ...

These chains come in a wide range of lengths. In humans a typical protein is about 400 amino acids long; some are a lot longer. Molecules of RNA, one of the two nucleic acids, can reach up to 100,000 ...

This work presents valuable new data on the role of D-Serine and how it competes with its stereoisomer L-Serine to influence metabolism. The work presents a variety of solid experimental data combined ...

Inherited metabolic diseases are rare monogenic conditions that disrupt biochemical pathways, affecting energy production and ...
