New research suggests that decreased activity of ELOVL2 -- a key enzyme in lipid metabolism -- accelerates white blood cell aging and alters genes associated with the onset of blood cancers.

Recent studies indicate that it may influence glycolysis, a metabolic process closely linked to liver fibrosis. By reducing the activity of key glycolytic enzymes—including hexokinase II (HK2 ...

These findings will also allow for a "better use of natural resources and boost the green economy by using enzymes as key tools in the production of these alginates," say the authors. Part of the ...
