Immune cells use two different routes to produce acetyl-CoA, an essential metabolite required to fight infection and cancer, reports a study led by Van Andel Institute scientists.. The findings, ...

Acetyl-CoA synthetase-2 is an emerging key enzyme for cancer metabolism, which supplies acetyl-CoA for tumor cells by capturing acetate as a carbon source under stressed conditions. However ...

Insufficient acetyl-CoA derails the immune system's ability to protect the body. Until now, however, it was unclear exactly how immune cells maintained their acetyl-CoA reserves.

Arabidopsis may seem like a simple plant, but at the University of Missouri, plant biochemist Jay Thelen is using it as a ...

The enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 turns on memory-building genes within the nuclei of hippocampal neurons. A protein from Helicobacter pylori inhibits amyloid formation in both microbes and humans, ...
