A Mediterranean ingredient gave gluten-free pasta an unexpected upgrade

Researchers developed carob-enriched gluten-free tagliatelle that increased dietary fiber and antioxidant activity while reducing starch digestibility and improving pasta structure. A 20% carob substitution provided the best overall balance of functional properties, texture, and consumer acceptance, although clinical health benefits remain to be established.

Sprint exercise sends a very different molecular signal through the body

Sprint-interval exercise triggers a much larger and faster shift in circulating proteins and metabolites than moderate-intensity exercise, revealing distinct patterns of predicted communication between organs. The findings suggest that exercise intensity shapes systemic molecular signaling, with skeletal muscle and adipose tissue emerging as potential source and target tissues linked to cardiometabolic health.

Blocking caspase-1 appears to reduce the risk of developing lung tumors

Every year, lung cancer kills more than 100,000 people in the United States. Smoking is the leading risk factor for lung cancer, but other environmental exposures can also contribute to the disease.
