The tumor microenvironment is not just a site of cancer growth—it is a high-stakes metabolic contest where tumor and immune cells vie for limited resources. Amino acids, once seen as passive nutrients ...

The review introduces the molecular subtypes of breast cancer and outlines how altered amino acid metabolism supports tumor growth. It explores key amino acid pathways—including glutamine, serine, ...

Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. They play a crucial role in the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Amino ...

A protein-heavy diet may increase cardiovascular disease risk by setting off an immune response that drives atherosclerotic plaque formation, new research suggests. When more than 22% of daily ...

Tomatoes, one of the world's most important horticultural crops, often struggle to grow in saline soils that limit yields and quality. A new study identifies the amino acid permease gene SlAAP6 as a ...

The study adds to growing evidence that some often-underappreciated, 'non-essential' amino acids play important roles in the nervous system. The findings may provide a new way to identify people at ...

A new study in mice shows that cutting down the amount of a single amino acid called isoleucine can, among other benefits, extend their lifespan, make them leaner and less frail as they age and reduce ...
