RETRACTED ARTICLE: Kynurenine promotes neonatal heart regeneration by stimulating cardiomyocyte proliferation and cardiac angiogenesis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase-1 (IDO1) catalyzes tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism in many inflammatory and cancer diseases. Of note, acute inflammation that occurs immediately after heart injury is essential for neonatal cardiomyocyte proliferation and ...

Obesity and cancer: existing and new hypotheses for a causal connection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Existing explanations of obesity-associated cancer emphasise direct mutagenic effects of dietary components or hormonal imbalance. Some of these hypotheses are reviewed briefly, but recent evidence suggests a major role for chronic inflammation in cancer

Tryptophan catabolism increases in breast cancer patients compared to healthy controls without affecting the cancer outcome or response to chemotherapy

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2019
Background Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase catalyzes the conversion of tryptophan to kynurenine, an immunosuppressive metabolite involved in T regulatory cell differentiation.

Linking major depressive disorder pathogenesis with kynurenine pathway - a literature review

open access: yesJournal of Education, Health and Sport, 2023
Introduction: Depressive disorders are a significant problem. They lead to suffering, loss of interest and may contribute to suicide attempts. Despite the large number of available medications, 10-35% of patients fail to achieve remission.

Toward an Alternative Intrinsic Probe for Spectroscopic Characterization of a Protein [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The intrinsic fluorescent amino acid tryptophan is the unanimous choice for the spectroscopic investigation of proteins. However, several complicacies in the interpretation of tryptophan fluorescence in a protein are inevitable and an alternative ...

Kynurenines and Neurofilament Light Chain in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune, demyelinating, and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system. In recent years, it has been proven that the kynurenine system plays a significant role in the development of several nervous system ...
