Consuming fewer calories is largely accepted as a way to improve health and lose weight, but a recently published study in Nature Metabolism points to a specific sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine ...

Mechanistically, increased H3K4me3 and decreased DNA methylation enhanced SLC7A11 transcription and cystine uptake in trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer. The regulation of epigenetic modifications ...

Eating a high-fat diet will typically result in weight gain. But a new study published in Nature Metabolism has uncovered an unexpected biological loophole that turns fat storage into fat usage.

Cysteine Deprivation Sparks Rapid Weight Loss In a striking new study, mice that were genetically engineered to stop producing the amino acid cysteine, and then fed a cysteine-free diet, lost 30 ...

Mice genetically engineered to lack the ability to make the amino acid cysteine, and fed a cysteine-free diet, lost 30 percent of their body weight in just one week, a new study shows.

Mice genetically engineered to lack the amino acid cysteine, and fed a cysteine-free diet, lost 30 percent of their body weight in a week.

Targeting intractable proteins remains a key challenge in drug discovery, as these proteins often lack well-defined binding pockets or possess shallow surfaces not readily addressed by traditional ...

By eliminating the essential amino acid cysteine from the diets of mice, and disabling their ability to produce it, scientists have induced rapid and dramatic weight loss. The technique opens a ...
