Internal acid–base homeostasis is fundamental for maintaining life. Accurate and timely interpretation of an acid–base disorder can be lifesaving, but the establishment of a correct diagnosis may be ...

To define "steady-state" chronic hypercapnia in man, we studied 20 patients with stable carbon dioxide tensions from 34 to 103 mm of mercury and with no apparent complicating disorders. The whole-body ...

Discover how therapeutic peptides act as biological messengers to treat disease, improve metabolism, and enhance immune ...

Fatty acid metabolism, particularly the conversion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) into bioactive lipids, plays a critical role in cardiovascular health. Genetic variants in the fatty acid ...

The tumor microenvironment is not just a site of cancer growth—it is a high-stakes metabolic contest where tumor and immune cells vie for limited resources. Amino acids, once seen as passive nutrients ...

Genetic background has an effect on the metabolism of the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid, a recent study shows. Genetic background has an effect on the ...

Evaluating multiplex immunofluorescence analysis of the tumor microenvironment for predicting immunotherapy efficacy in NSCLC compared to traditional biomarkers. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide ...

The review introduces the molecular subtypes of breast cancer and outlines how altered amino acid metabolism supports tumor growth. It explores key amino acid pathways—including glutamine, serine, ...
