Many tumour cells exhibit high rates of glutamine consumption to support macromolecular biosynthesis and cell proliferation 1. Glutamine fuels the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle through anaplerosis ...

A protein building block found in asparagus and other foods may hold a key to preventing the spread of an often-deadly type of breast cancer, according to Cedars-Sinai scientists in a new study ...

To prevent the spread of breast cancer, it may help to limit dietary asparagine, an amino acid found in many foods of animal and plant origin—including, yes, asparagus. But since asparagine may be ...

Future cancer treatments may come with a specific dietary recommendation — eat less asparagus, potatoes and seafood. All are among foods with high levels of asparagine, an amino acid researchers ...

THERE has been research surrounding asparagine and its effect on cancer, with some potentially dangerous consequences. But what exactly is it, and what does it mean for you if you’re an asparagus ...

Why is asparagine, a rather boring molecule that biology majors are forced to memorize, grabbing international headlines? It can be found foods containing protein – which are many – including ...

Chronic stress impairs the autoinhibition in locus coeruleus neurons by inducing the internalization of α2A adrenaline receptors, which causes their overexcitation and consequently induces their ...

Scientists discovered that a chemical compound called asparagine can fuel tumor growth in mice that have a tough-to-treat form of breast cancer. The results, published in the journal Nature on ...

A protein found in asparagus and other everyday foods has been linked to the spread of breast cancer, scientists have discovered. Restricting the amino acid asparagine decreased the spread of the ...
