When the skin is injured, a stem cell’s survival instincts kick in. New research reveals that a simple amino acid, serine, ...

Low levels of the amino acid serine force the body to incorporate a different amino acid in sphingolipids, which changes their structure. These atypical sphingolipids then accumulate, which may ...

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 ...

Scientists found that adult stem cells intended to maintain hair growth are sometimes redirected to healing skin instead and the amino acid serine, found in common foods, regulates this process. The ...

The 15-lysine in the structure of aprotinin binds to a serine amino acid on the target enzyme in a tight, but reversible, manner. Aprotinin inhibits a spectrum of human serine proteases over a ...

Amino acids are the building blocks that cells need to make proteins. While healthy cells are able to make sufficient serine and glycine, cancer cells are much more dependent on getting these ...

In the future, we hope to understand serine inhibition, the pathogenic mechanisms of Clostridium perfringens food poisoning, and the survival strategies of pathogenic microorganisms in the human body.
