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 ...

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 ...

The research team discovered that taurine is produced by a subset of healthy cells in the bone marrow, where leukemia grows. The SLC6A6 gene then transports taurine from the bone marrow to ...

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 ...

(Getty) The study looked at mice with a special gene called SLC6A6, which helps move taurine around the body. Scientists also gave these mice human leukemia cells to see how they would react.

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 ...
