Placental release of taurine to both the maternal and fetal circulations in human term pregnancies

, 2018
Taurine is regarded as an essential amino acid in utero, and fetal taurine supply is believed to rely solely on placental transfer from maternal plasma.

Taurine and dopamine-related effects of ethanol. An experimental study in rodents [PDF]

, 2019
The reinforcing properties of alcohol (ethanol) are associated with activation of the mesolimbic dopamine system and the concomitant increase in dopamine in the nucleus accumbens (nAc).

Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum organelle glue as maturation promoter for origination/dimensional dual‐cross cardiomyocytes

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum contact sites (MERCS) are areas where the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum closely interact. In this study, we utilize synthetic organelle glues to artificially engineer MERCS for regulating cardiomyocyte development, through which the immature and chemo‐plasticity issues of undifferentiated cells are addressed.

Serum taurine affects lung cancer progression by regulating tumor immune escape mediated by the immune microenvironment

Journal of Advanced Research
Introduction: Taurine is a naturally occurring sulfonic acid involved in various physiological and pathological processes, such as the regulation of calcium signaling, immune function, inflammatory response, and cellular aging.

Role of taurine on acid secretion in the rat stomach

Journal of Biomedical Science, 2011
Background Taurine has chemical structure similar to an inhibitory neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Previous studies on GABA in the stomach suggest GABAergic neuron is involved in acid secretion, but the effects of taurine are poor ...

Tissue depletion of taurine accelerates skeletal muscle senescence and leads to early death in mice.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is found in milimolar concentrations in mammalian tissues. One of its main functions is osmoregulation; however, it also exhibits cytoprotective activity by diminishing injury caused by stress and disease.

Seven days of oral taurine supplementation does not increase muscle taurine content or alter substrate metabolism during prolonged exercise in humans

, 2008
This study examined 1) the plasma taurine response to acute oral taurine supplementation (T), and 2) the effects of 7 days (d) of T on muscle amino acid content and substrate metabolism during 2 hr of cycling at ~60% VO2peak.

The Multifaceted Origin of Taurine Cattle Reflected by the Mitochondrial Genome [PDF]

, 2009
A Neolithic domestication of taurine cattle in the Fertile Crescent from local aurochsen (Bos primigenius) is generally accepted, but a genetic contribution from European aurochsen has been proposed.

Mechanism of Isonitrilase, a Nonheme Iron Decarboxylase Involved in the Biosynthesis of the Isonitrile Group in Peptides: A Computational Study

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A combination of molecular dynamics and quantum mechanics calculations shows that substrate is tightly bound inside the enzyme structure that enables two successive catalytic cycles with dioxygen and α‐ketoglutarate with an initial desaturation followed by hydrogen abstraction and decarboxylation steps to form an isonitrile substituent.
