Parasites trigger a gut-to-brain signal that cuts food intake during infection

Parasites trigger a gut-to-brain signal that cuts food intake during infection

Researchers found that intestinal tuft cells signal to crypt enterochromaffin cells by releasing acetylcholine, triggering serotonin release and activating a gut-to-brain vagal pathway during type 2 inflammation. This sustained signalling, rather than the initial acute response, was linked to reduced food intake in mouse models of parasitic infection.

The molecular mechanism that turns cool temps into nerve signals

The molecular mechanism that turns cool temps into nerve signals

When you reach into a bucket of ice, open your front door on a snowy day, or feel the tingle of menthol toothpaste, a protein in your nerve cells called TRPM8 springs into action, opening like a tiny gate to send a "cold" signal to your brain.

Blood-based test helps personalize breast cancer care for older patients

Blood-based test helps personalize breast cancer care for older patients

For women age 70 and over with a common form of breast cancer, determining "the right size" of treatment can be challenging, in part because clinicians have limited tools to guide individualized treatment decisions.

Targeting protein fragment may improve Huntington disease treatments

Targeting protein fragment may improve Huntington disease treatments

Treatments that target a fragment of the mutant protein that causes Huntington's disease might be more effective than treatments, now in clinical trials, that target the whole protein but leave this fragment intact, a new study in mice suggests.
