Aspartate plays important roles in the body, including in the lungs. As an amino acid, it’s one of the building blocks of proteins, crucial to the structure and function of lung cells.

The sialic acid-rich antibodies, but not the others, protected the animals from both types of flu, evidently due to markedly reduced lung inflammation. “The reduced inflammation led to better oxygen ...

Discover how sugar modifications, particularly sialic acid, impact mucus formation and transport, contributing to diseases like cystic fibrosis and COPD. The critical role of sugar modifications ...

Mucus is a hydrogel composed primarily of water and solid matter, including large sugar-coated protein molecules called mucins, the principal component of mucus. The research focused on the addition ...

The research focused on the addition and removal of a terminal negatively charged sugar modification, called sialic acid, of MUC5B, one of the major mucin proteins found in the airway. The study also ...

Cells respond to water and acid "We knew something about what these cells were doing in the lungs, but not the upper airway," said Laura Seeholzer, Ph.D., a UCSF postdoctoral fellow in the Julius ...

Hassan said AVD-104 (Aviceda Therapeutics), a sialic acid-coated nanoparticle, may be able to “turn off” macrophages and microglia, the effector cells that cause geographic atrophy, when ...

When comparing the relative levels of each omega-3 fatty acid in the 1,455 airway obstruction cases that occurred over the study period with individuals without airway obstruction, researchers ...
