The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a bile acid nuclear receptor that plays a crucial role in regulating bile acid and sterol metabolism.

There are nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot naturally make, so we have to get them through our diet. Complete ...

Many biological molecules are chiral, meaning they exist in two forms that are mirror images of each other, like left and ...

Every organism on Earth is a well-oiled machine in its own environment. It makes sense then that every piece of every process ...

Although synthetic biology labs have toyed with the possibility of building mirror bacteria, scientists have opted to ditch the idea because of the potentially catastrophic consequences ...

Over the last years our research group has prepared several complex amino acid derivatives, some of them with promising biological activity. 17, 18 Thus, we envisioned that the preparation of new ...
