Research conducted by the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), published today in ‘Nature’, reveals a mechanism in mice ...

Researchers discovered a mechanism after acute liver damage occurs—and it could lead to treatments for those with severe liver problems.

Researchers used advanced cryo-electron microscopy to capture atomic-level images of how glutamate, a key neurotransmitter, opens channels in brain cells.

In neonatal mammals, arginine is synthesized in the enterocyte, with either proline or glutamate as the dietary precursor. We have shown several times in piglets that proline is the only precursor ...

Is MSG actually harmful? Discover what science reveals about this controversial food additive, its hidden sources, and why its reputation might be undeserved.

MSG stands for monosodium glutamate. It’s the sodium salt of glutamic acid, a common amino acid naturally found in many foods and our bodies, says Stephani Johnson, D.C.N., R.D.N., a professor ...

They say their findings, published in the journal Nature, open up avenues for future treatments of serious liver damage to ...
