Lactate, once considered a metabolic waste product, is now recognized as a key regulator of cellular homeostasis and disease progression. In gynecological malignancies-including ovarian, cervical, and ...

Lactic acid (LA) has transitioned from being perceived as a mere glycolytic waste product to a pivotal regulator of tumor-immune crosstalk. Historical milestones—from Scheele's 1780 isolation from ...

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a diverse group of Gram-positive microorganisms widely exploited for their capacity to ferment carbohydrates into lactic acid stereoisomers. Central to their metabolism ...

Elevated levels of lactate may lead to the development of cachexia (disease-related weight loss) following the onset of cancer, according to a study including data from mice and humans published in ...

D-lactate is the stereoisomer of L-lactate that arises primarily through microbial fermentation in the gut and via the glyoxalase pathway in human tissues. Under normal circumstances, low levels of ...

Scientists from Academia Sinica and National Taiwan University, together with international collaborators, have developed a high-performance red fluorescent biosensor for lactate (lactic acid). The ...

A new review reveals how lactate and its derivative lactylation process drive breast cancer progression, opening new therapeutic possibilities. The study demonstrates that lactate—a metabolic ...

Raman spectroscopy enables real-time bioreactor monitoring of glucose and lactate without breaching the sterile boundary.

Charlie Allenby experiments with an at-home lactate-measuring device to see how it compares with more expensive lab tests ...

Plus, how to ride faster for longer without fatiguing.
