A new study shows that the amino acid lysine – which affects metabolism – has a promising effect on kidney diseases in humans and animals. The study is headed by AIAS Fellow Markus Rinschen, and published in Nature Communications.

This is important when you have to produce synthetic fuels, for example. And it’s almost like playing extreme Tetris.
