Sleep health expert explains how falling back affects the body clock

When clocks fall back this weekend, we'll gain an hour - but does that necessarily mean better sleep? Hannah Peach, a sleep health expert at UNC Charlotte, explains how the change from daylight saving time back to standard time affects our internal body clocks, why the fall transition is easier on our bodies than the spring change and how shorter days can affect our well-being.

The type of fiber you eat shapes how gut bacteria feed and work together

A 2021 review examined how the chemical structure and physical properties of dietary fiber influence which gut bacteria can break it down and how microbial species compete and cooperate during fermentation. The authors described how these interactions contribute to short-chain fatty acid production, while emphasizing the need for further research involving intact plant foods to understand their implications for human health.

Eating walnuts was linked to higher IgG levels, but what does that mean for health?

A two-year randomized trial involving 474 older adults found that daily consumption of 30–60 grams of walnuts was associated with 6% higher total serum IgG concentrations compared with a control diet, with an 11% difference observed among US participants. Walnut consumption did not significantly affect IgM, MDA-LDL or MDA-LDL-specific antibodies, and whether the modest IgG difference has meaningful cardiovascular benefits remains unknown.

Extreme heat and cold hit some people far harder, and it's not just about illness

Researchers analysing 285,444 adults in Finland and the UK found that excess mortality associated with extreme heat and cold was more than tenfold higher among people with both pre-existing medical conditions and socioeconomic disadvantage than among those with neither or only one vulnerability. Climate modelling suggested that warming from approximately 1°C to 4°C could increase the proportion of deaths attributable to extreme temperatures from around 1% to more than 5% in both countries.

Researchers uncover molecular pathway controlling bone resorption and tooth eruption

RUNX2 is best known as a master transcription factor of osteoblast differentiation. Mutations in, or haploinsufficiency of RUNX2 cause CCD, a skeletal disorder characterized by delayed permanent tooth eruption, supernumerary teeth and clavicular defects.

Excessive exercise disrupts dopamine regulation in the brain, study finds

Excessive physical exercise affects more than just the muscles; it can also alter brain chemistry. A new study published in the journal Neuroscience revealed that exhaustive training without adequate rest alters the regulation of dopamine in the hippocampus, a brain region closely linked to memory and the regulation of emotions.
