Glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive form of brain cancer, could see its resistance to treatments weakened by a simple ...

Serine serves as a metabolic nexus in tumors, coordinating one-carbon metabolism, nucleotide synthesis, and redox regulation.

The serine 31 (Ser31) phosphorylation modification (H3.3S31ph) in the N-terminal tail of the histone variant H3.3 can ...

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 team of researchers has established a new method to measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a primary kidney function, by calculating the clearance of D-serine. A team of researchers led by the ...

Phylogenomic analyses of ancient relationships are usually performed using amino acid data, but it is unclear whether amino acids or nucleotides should be preferred. With the 2-fold aim of addressing ...

A dietary supplement believed to protect against Alzheimer's disease might instead be potentially harmful to the brain, a new study warns. L-serine is an amino acid that serves many different roles in ...

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 ...

Studies in mice by a Salk Institute research team have shown how altered amino acid metabolism can represent a contributing factor to diabetes-associated peripheral neuropathy. Their experiments found ...

Phosphatidylserine is an abundant natural phospholipid located in the brain. It is instrumental in preserving brain health by supporting the structure and performance of brain cells. As we grow older, ...
