Taurine is an organic osmolyte involved in cell volume regulation, and provides a substrate
for the formation of bile salts. It plays a role in the modulation of intracellular free calcium …

The ability to control cell volume is pivotal for cell function. Cell volume perturbation elicits a
wide array of signaling events, leading to protective (eg, cytoskeletal rearrangement) and …

Aging is associated with changes in circulating levels of various molecules, some of which
remain undefined. We find that concentrations of circulating taurine decline with aging in …

Taurine is often referred to as a semi‐essential amino acid as newborn mammals have a
limited ability to synthesize taurine and have to rely on dietary supply. Taurine is not thought …

Energy metabolism is a basic and general process, by which the body acquires and uses
energy to maintain normal function, and taurine plays a vital role in energy metabolism …

Cilia are membrane-bounded, centriole-derived projections from the cell surface that contain
a microtubule cytoskeleton, the ciliary axoneme, surrounded by a ciliary membrane …

Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and their associated comorbidities impact brain metabolism and
function and constitute risk factors for cognitive impairment. Alterations to taurine …

Background: The association of Ménière's syndrome with endolymphatic hydrops has led to
the formation of a central hypothesis: many possible etiologic factors lead to hydrops, and …

Survival of human and animal cells requires avoidance of excessive alterations of cell
volume. The osmolarity amassed by cellular accumulation of organic substances must be …

Viral replication requires energy and macromolecular precursors derived from the metabolic
network of the host cell. Despite this reliance, the effect of viral infection on host cell …
