SIRT1: Unlocking the secrets to better vascular health through resveratrol and energy restriction

Research investigates the effects of SIRT1 activation through resveratrol supplementation and energy restriction on vascular function in adults. The study reveals that both interventions increase circulating SIRT1, reduce sympathetic activity, and have positive impacts on vascular reactivity, indicating potential benefits for vascular health.

Scientists unveil a metabolic Achilles' heel in pancreatic cancer

Research unveils the significance of uridine as a metabolic fuel in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) cells under glucose-deprived conditions. Uridine utilization, mediated by uridine phosphorylase 1 (UPP1), supports redox balance, survival, and proliferation in PDA, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of this resistant cancer.
