## Facts

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers explores the transport, metabolism, and physiological roles of amino acids, with a focus on D-serine, NMDA receptor function, and their implications in neurological disorders such as schizophrenia. It also delves into the role of amino acid transporters in cancer, metabolic disorders, and neuronal function. |
