“Scientists believe these “stealth” molecules could evade the brain’s cleanup systems and quietly impair memory and brain function. The discovery opens a new frontier in understanding dementia and could lead to entirely new targets for treatment and prevention.” ~ learn […]
“A team of scientists led by the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered how the naturally produced metabolite betaine acts as a “molecular proxy” for actual exercise. So when administered at a level seen in […]
“Scientists from the Kazakh National Agrarian Research University (KazNARU) have developed a monoclonal antibody that, when delivered into the nose, delivers a preemptive strike, blocking pollen from having any effect. While this novel treatment was developed to combat mugwort pollen […]
“The study found that a decline in HbA1c, and key markers of long-term blood sugar levels, are associated with significant positive changes in specific brain regions commonly affected by age-related atrophy. … The study suggests that improved blood sugar control […]
Thanks to the humans who keep expanding the frontiers of science and medicine! “Stanford researchers hope new technique will flip lymphoma protein’s normal action – from preventing cell death to triggering it.” ~ learn more
“The study, the largest of its kind ever to be completed, examined the effects of cannabis use on over 1,000 young adults aged 22 to 36 using brain imaging technology. The researchers found that 63% of heavy lifetime cannabis users […]
“Zimislecel is an allogeneic stem cell–derived islet-cell therapy. … Ten of the 12 participants (83%) had insulin independence and were not using exogenous insulin at day 365.” ~ learn more
This is very encouraging! “Researchers from the University of Jyväskylä’s Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences in Finland found surprising results in their study, which looked into how taking a 10-week break in the middle of a 20-week resistance-training schedule […]
For much of history we’ve put computers to work. Now computers put humans (lab techs, specifically) to work. “As the first AI system to autonomously discover and validate a novel therapeutic candidate within an iterative lab-in-the-loop framework, Robin establishes a […]
This is remarkable. Vitamin D has long been a polarizing topic in nutrition science, so I wouldn’t treat this as conclusive. “Compared with taking placebo, taking vitamin D3 supplements significantly reduced telomere shortening over four years, preventing the equivalent of […]
