Meat or plants: Athletes redefining protein and masculinity

Research paper explores the perspectives of male athletes on plant-based diets and diets containing animal products. The study shows how athletes reproduce nutritional claims about the necessity of protein for athletes but disagree on the suitability of plant-based sources and how food environments and shared eating practices fortify a mixed diet as normal and plant-based diets as anomalous.

NUTRISHIELD study: Unraveling the impact of mother's milk on infant growth and health

The NUTRISHIELD study aims to compare the weight gain of preterm and term infants who exclusively receive either own mother's milk or pasteurized donor human milk. The study also evaluates the influence of diet, lifestyle habits, psychological stress, and pasteurization on milk composition and how it affects infant growth, health, and development.

Military personnel exposed to explosions show abnormal amyloid accumulation in the brain

New research finds that the brains of otherwise healthy military personnel who are exposed to explosions show an abnormal brain accumulation of amyloid-beta protein - a protein that plays a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.

Malnutrition looms over Japan's 'Cinderella weight' women: Study warns of health risks

Study aimed to determine the nutritional status of young women at "Cinderella weight" in Japan. The results showed that underweight women had lower handgrip strength, cholesterol levels, and lymphocyte count and were prone to malnutrition due to low dietary diversity and deficiencies in various vitamins and minerals.

Study shows the power of gamma enhancement as potential approach for countering depression

Led by researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Hungary's University of Szeged, a new study in mice and rats found that restoring certain signals in a brain region that processes smells countered depression.

Researchers find link between increasing prosperity and unhealthy eating patterns in Kenyan preadolescents

The increase in obesity in lower-middle-income countries (LMIC) is largely thought to be affected by lifestyle transition away from traditional diets toward unhealthy Western dietary patterns that follow economic development.

Study explores the role of dynamin protein DYN-1 in regenerative axonal fusion

A study explores the role of the dynamin protein DYN-1 in axonal fusion. The axon is a long, thin protrusion of nerve cells that carries electrical impulses.

Ultra-long protein fibrils are a signature of severe Alzheimer’s disease, study shows

During the course of Alzheimer's disease, protein fibrils appear in the spinal fluid of affected individuals. Empa researchers, together with the Department of Neurology at the Cantonal Hospital in St. Gallen, have now visualized the wide spectrum of protein aggregates from oligomers, protofibrils to fibrils in the spinal fluid.

Rice University lab receives $1.9 million grant to model human ectodermal development

Many birth defects and spontaneous abortions occur during the embryonic development stage known as neurulation, yet we have very little insight into how this critical developmental process unfolds in humans.

Can intermittent fasting tackle obesity-related inflammation?

Research reviews the effects of two forms of intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating (TRE) and alternate-day fasting (ADF), on body weight and key circulating inflammatory markers (CRP, TNF-alpha, and IL-6) in adults with obesity. The results suggest that intermittent fasting has little or no effect on key inflammatory markers, but more research is needed to confirm these findings.

High-fat diets' eye-opening impact: Study reveals link to retinal damage and bisretinoid accumulation

In this study, the effects of a high-fat diet on the formation of bisretinoids in photoreceptor cells were explored. The results showed that mice on a high-fat diet had increased levels of bisretinoids and retinol-binding protein 4, which are associated with metabolic dysregulation.
