Leukaemia cells are unable to make taurine themselves, so they rely on a taurine transporter (encoded by the SLC6A6 gene) to grab taurine from the bone marrow environment and deliver it to the ...

This is not the same as causing cancer. In the study, mice with the SLC6A6 gene, a gene which moves taurine around the body, were given human leukaemia cells. The study discovered that healthy ...

Taurine, an amino acid hyped for anti-aging, faces scrutiny as new research challenges its role. A recent 'Science' study reveals taurine levels don't universally decline with age, contradicting ...

In addition, it was found that leukemia cells use the taurine transporter (SLC6A6) to deplete taurine from the bone marrow and promote their own glucose breakdown (glycolysis), which is reported ...

Leukemia cells are unable to make taurine themselves, so they rely on a taurine transporter (encoded by the SLC6A6 gene) to grab taurine from the bone marrow environment and deliver it to the ...

A recent study published in Nature has raised concerns about taurine, a widely used amino acid in energy drinks such as Red Bull and Celsius, indicating it may increase the risk of blood cancers.

The amino acid taurine was once thought to decline with age, and animal research suggested that taurine supplements could delay ageing. But a new study shows that the decline doesn’t happen ...
