Researchers have identified a protein that’s critical to the development of skeletal muscle mass and strength and the tissue’s ability to metabolize glucose. They say their findings may lead to treatments for the muscle wasting that can occur in diseas… Continue reading Protein linked to muscle development could be new atrophy treatment target
A new study has identified a key metabolic pathway that is abnormally activated in people with brain fog, a common symptom of long COVID. The discovery opens the door to developing a way of diagnosing, monitoring and treating people with the condition….

A new study has found that women who breastfeed their babies for at least six months can improve their cardiovascular and metabolic health for at least three years. Importantly, the benefits were seen in women with complicated pregnancies, too, who are… Continue reading Breastfeeding boosts mom’s cardiovascular health for at least 3 years
Scientists have discovered that a common natural sugar could play a role in boosting cancer treatments like chemotherapy. Mannose was found to be able to invoke “honeybee syndrome” in cancer cells to slow their growth and make them more vulnerable to a… Continue reading Natural sugar induces “honeybee syndrome” in cancer to boost chemotherapy
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is growing more rapidly than any other neurological disease, which makes its early detection so important. Researchers have developed a new machine-learning tool that shows promise as a way of detecting the disease early.

Scientists have identified the role an enzyme, crucial to the body’s metabolism, plays in the development of kidney disease, opening the door to new methods of prevention and treatment of this increasingly prevalent, potentially fatal condition.Continu… Continue reading Scientists identify role of key metabolism enzyme in kidney disease
Researchers studying new methods for improving blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes have discovered an old class of antipsychotic drugs may offer clues to a novel kind of treatment for hyperglycemia. While the researchers propose the old drugs could … Continue reading Old antipsychotic drugs offer clues to new class of diabetes treatment
New research from scientists at York University is shedding light on the mechanisms underpinning why men are significantly more likely to die from obesity-related diseases compared to women. The animal study suggests inflammation-associated processes a… Continue reading Why is obesity more deadly for men than women?
A team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen has looked to the microbiome to understand what role gut bacteria may play in weight gain. The findings suggest certain populations of bacteria are more efficient at extracting energy from food, a… Continue reading New insight into how your gut bacteria could be helping you gain weight
