Itaconic Acid: The Bio-Based Alternative to Fossil Acrylates
Quick answer: Itaconic acid is a five-carbon dicarboxylic acid made by fermenting sugar with fungi. It has one radically polymerizable terminal alkene and[…]
How Itaconate Modifications Control Inflammation and Could Transform Disease Treatment
If you told a biologist 15 years ago that a byproduct of the citric acid cycle could shut down inflammation, they’d probably raise[…]
Itaconic Acid in Immune Regulation: Mechanisms, Derivatives, and Disease Applications
Itaconic acid (ITA) is a byproduct of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, produced when the enzyme aconitate decarboxylase 1 (ACOD1/IRG1) converts the TCA[…]
