A team of biologists from Rothamsted Research, the University of Bristol and Curtis Analytics Limited—all in the U.K.—has used the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system to knock out the asparagine gene in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at Rothamsted Research have successfully developed wheat with dramatically reduced levels of asparagine, without affecting yield, using gene editing techniques, offering a promising route ...

Why is asparagine, a rather boring molecule that biology majors are forced to memorize, grabbing international headlines? It can be found foods containing protein – which are many – including ...

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 ...
