Proteins are complex molecules that are made up of amino acids. They can be found in every cell in the body, and carry out vital processes that keep human beings alive. Mutations in proteins can lead to a multitude of diseases, the most common being cancer.

Could this flowering plant help people lose body fat?

Lythrum salicaria extract supplementation led to body fat reduction in a clinical trial, suggesting a promising plant-based approach to weight management.

Does adding yeast to whey protein help muscle recovery after exercise?

The yeast-whey protein blend shows potential in aiding muscle recovery after exercise-induced damage, yet its effectiveness compared to whey alone is uncertain.

AI study of 101,000 patients links brown fat to heart and mental health

In a retrospective analysis of PET-CT records from 101,243 patients, researchers found that detectable brown fat was associated with lower prevalence of cardiometabolic and psychiatric conditions, while greater activity, particularly in the axillary region, was linked to more favourable metabolic outcomes. Medication screening identified losartan, which increased brown fat thermogenic activity in laboratory experiments and energy expenditure in mice, although its effects on human brown fat remain unproven.

Scientists discover water-triggered reactions that may explain microplastic harm

Researchers found that six common types of microplastics spontaneously generate reactive oxygen species at their interfaces with water, with more hydrophobic plastics showing greater chemical activity. Laboratory experiments also linked these surface properties to biomolecular adsorption, protein aggregation, and mouse red blood cell damage, although the implications for human health remain uncertain.

Women with low bone density reported less pain after taking pine bark extract

A randomized clinical trial involving 67 women with osteopenia or stable osteoporosis found that three months of Pycnogenol® supplementation improved self-reported bodily pain and vitality scores compared with placebo. However, overall disease-specific quality of life did not significantly improve, and the six-month findings were insufficient to establish long-term benefits or safety.

Scientists restore memory-linked neuron function in Alzheimer's mice

Researchers were able to restore the function of neurons linked to cognitive function and information processing in mice that mimic key features of Alzheimer's disease, showing early promise for the development of a similar targeted therapy in humans.

Targeting the STING pathway could help prevent osteoporosis

As we age, our bones become weak and brittle, a process called osteoporosis. This bone loss is caused by changes in the cells within the bone marrow microenvironment, such as elevated fat and inflammation-promoting immune cells.

Heart failure alters bone marrow to promote harmful inflammation

Heart failure (HF) alters the bone marrow (BM), reducing protective cells that regulate inflammation, reports a study conducted at Science Tokyo.

Researchers identify molecular pathway that improves ultrasound-based bone defect healing

Researchers from Capital Medical University, Beijing, China, have identified a CaN/NFATC3/Id3/E2A/Bmp4 signaling pathway that helps explain how low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) promotes bone regeneration.

Losing weight is one thing. Keeping your muscle is another, experts say

The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) position stand concludes that sustained calorie restriction drives weight loss, while adequate protein intake and resistance training help preserve lean mass. Reviewing intermittent fasting, ketogenic diets, and other dietary approaches, the authors emphasize individualized nutrition plans, body composition, and sustainable weight management rather than rapid weight loss alone.

New project receives $2.3 million to develop a database and AI model to identify therapeutic peptides

A group of scientists led by Joseph Brown, assistant professor at the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, has received $2.3 million USD in funding to develop a database and AI training model to identify peptides with therapeutic potential.

Novel gene rejuvenation therapy preserves cell identity while reversing age

Every organ and tissue progressively loses function and integrity as it ages. In fact, researchers have identified "hallmarks of aging" that not only present specific processes impacted by age, but are also thought of as levers that, if successfully targeted, could help turn back the aging clock and result in tissue rejuvenation.

New immune profiling tool identifies antibodies that trigger preterm births

A typical pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but for about 1 in 10 pregnant women labor begins too soon. Premature or preterm birth is the leading cause of newborn deaths worldwide.

Chronic inflammation spikes during the earliest phase of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome

In a nationally representative sample of more than 4,000 American adults, a common marker of inflammation was nearly doubled in people in the first stage of the syndrome, defined by excess or unhealthy body fat, compared with those with no metabolic risk factors.
