  by April Davis November 21, 2025
  What Are Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs)?   Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the main metabolites produced by intestinal microorganisms fermenting dietary fiber, which mainly include acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid. They have important roles in maintaining intestinal heal...

• Relationship between T cell glycans and immune diseases

  by April Davis May 16, 2025
  Everyone has a sweet tooth, even our cells. While we often think of sugar as the part of our diet that gives us energy, sugar is also very important in directing the activities of our cells. Sugar molecules can be modified and added to proteins on the outside of the cell to help the cell perform cer...

• Glycerol: A Multifaceted Molecule with Diverse Applications

  by April Davis January 17, 2025
  Introduction   Glycerol, also known as glycerin or glycerine, is a naturally occurring compound found in all lipids (fats) in the body. It is a colorless, odorless, sweet-tasting, viscous liquid. Structurally, glycerol is a triol, meaning it has three hydroxyl groups. These hydroxyl groups ma...
