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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a startling metabolic twist: mice engineered to lack the amino acid cysteine, and fed a cysteine-free diet, shed nearly a third of their body weight in just a week. The ...

In order for heart and vascular cells to develop properly and remain healthy for a long time, many processes in the cells must interact precisely. A new study from the German Centre for Cardiovascular ...

Scientists have identified a mirror-image form of the amino acid cysteine that selectively slows the growth of certain ...
