Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It plays a vital role in maintaining skin elasticity, joint flexibility, hair and nail strength, and gut health. As we age, collagen ...

Collagen is a very large molecule, and when it is ingested orally via a supplement, that molecule will be broken down into its component amino acids.

They show that by replacing water with its 'twin molecule' heavy water (D2O), one can 'tune' the interaction between collagen molecules, and thus influence the process of collagen self-assembly.

The inhibitory exon, exon 5, keeps TEAD1 from turning on the collagen-producing genes. In the MASH-fed organoids, TM7SF3 is reduced and does not inhibit the splicing factor.

Scientists from the University of California San Diego discovered a novel signaling pathway in liver cells, leading to a treatment for fibrosis.
