  1. Through a series of experiments in mice, the team discovered that changing the amount of these amino acids in the animals’ diet produced effects comparable to continuous cold exposure at five degrees Celsius.

  2. Scientists Discover a Diet That Burns Fat Like Cold Exposure, Leading to Significant Weight Loss

    By tweaking just two amino acids in the diet, researchers found a way to mimic the fat-burning effects of cold exposure.

    Their work centered on two amino acids, methionine and cysteine.

  5. Here's a new exciting paper by my dear protistologist colleagues in Prague! This builds upon a project I was working on in my PhD. We explored a group of #protists that have, uniquely among #eukaryotes, completely lost their mitochondria, as well as their relatives with reduced mitochondria.
