Glycolic acid is the hero ingredient you may not know you needed. Brilliant at brightening skin tone and texture, as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, breakouts and blemishes, ...

MIT scientists have found that an amino acid called cysteine can help the gut heal itself. In mouse studies, a cysteine-rich diet activated immune cells that release a molecule speeding up tissue ...

MIT researchers found that a diet rich in the amino acid cysteine may rejuvenate the small intestine by activating immune pathways that boost stem cell regeneration. The discovery could pave the way ...

In the fast-evolving field of medical science, a new artificial intelligence model may be about to change the way mRNA-based drugs and vaccines are designed. Developed through a collaboration between ...

For decades, amino acids have been added to medical formulations like insulin as stabilizers: these small molecules keep proteins (i.e. larger particles) from interacting in undesirable ways. And for ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The catalytic converter is a non-serviceable part that can last well beyond 100,000 miles; or, in some cases, the entire life of the vehicle, ...

Messenger RNA technology, better known as mRNA technology, made it possible to rapidly deploy a new vaccine during the COVID-19 pandemic — much earlier than would otherwise have been possible, saving ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...

Messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines entered the public consciousness when they were introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna used the technology in developing their ...
