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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Our previous work demonstrated substantial accumulation of allantoate in leaf tissue of nodulated soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr., cv Williams) in response to nitrogen fertilization. Research was ...

Thanks to the a recent study into mice and the impact a chemical compound called asparagine people have been frantically searching for answers as to whether they should give up asparagus. The study in ...

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 ...

The level of asparagine synthetase is low in 10-mm root tips from corn seedlings (Zea mays W64 × W182F) but relatively high in mature root sections taken 20 to 35 mm from the tip. When root tips are ...

Japan's Innovation Center of NanoMedicine reports on a new stealth coating for tiny medicine-carrying particles that doesn't ...
