Ultrafast-acting form of insulin developed by Stanford researchers

A team from Stanford University has developed an ultrafast-acting form of insulin that promises to work up to four times faster than current commercially available formulations. The novel drug has only been screened in animals so far but the researcher… Continue reading Ultrafast-acting form of insulin developed by Stanford researchers

Age-related heart disease linked to gut bacteria metabolite

New research from the University of Colorado Boulder has offered some of the clearest evidence to date showing how the gut microbiome produces a metabolite that, over time, contributes to age-related declines in cardiovascular health.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Age-related heart disease linked to gut bacteria metabolite

Yale study solves mystery of how stress triggers inflammation

A new Yale University-led study has solved a long-standing mystery of how acute stress seems to amplify inflammatory disease despite the fact many stress hormones actually suppress the immune system. The research reveals a particular immune cell is rel… Continue reading Yale study solves mystery of how stress triggers inflammation

Study strengthens link between high brain iron levels and Alzheimer’s

The study, which followed some subjects for a year and a half, has revealed an association between rates of cognitive decline and increasing neural iron levels

New imaging research is offering detailed insights into the relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and abnormal accumulations of iron in the brain. The study confirms a distinct correlation between higher iron deposits in particular brain regions and rates of cognitive decline.

Landmark study finds deep brain stimulation slows Parkinson’s progression

If validated in larger studies, deep brain stimulation will become the first clinically proven therapy to slow Parkinson's disease progression

New data chronicling the long-term effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on early-stage Parkinson’s disease patients has found the treatment significantly slows its progression. Researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center suggest, if the results are validated in a large Phase 3 trial currently underway, DBS will become the first therapy clinically proven to slow the progression of this neurodegenerative disease.

Raw milk can spread dangerous antibiotic-resistant genes, study finds

A large study from food scientists at the University of California, Davis, has found unpasteurized milk, commonly known as raw milk, holds large volumes of antimicrobial-resistant genes which can very swiftly spawn dangerous bacteria when left at room … Continue reading Raw milk can spread dangerous antibiotic-resistant genes, study finds
