Groundbreaking 3D dynamic cell co-culture models simulate MASLD progression

In a recent work published in BME Frontiers, a collaborative study by researchers from Griffith University, Queensland University of Technology, University of Queensland, and Nanjing Stomatological Hospital has introduced groundbreaking three-dimensional (3D) dynamic cell co-culture models to simulate metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) progression stages.

New drug combination shows promise in treating colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common tumors among people over the age of 50. Although it is known to develop from small lesions or polyps, its exact causes are unknown — only a few risk factors are known — and it is usually treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or biological therapies.

Can strawberries help prevent diabetes? New trial shows promising results in prediabetic adults

Daily consumption of freeze-dried strawberries for 12 weeks improved antioxidant defense, reduced inflammation, and lowered fasting glucose in adults with prediabetes. The randomized crossover trial highlights strawberries’ potential as a simple, food-based strategy to enhance metabolic and vascular health.

Tracking daily blood pressure in pregnancy could predict low birth weight sooner

Early-pregnancy home blood pressure patterns reveal that even small cumulative elevations, not just high averages, raise the risk of low birth weight. Tracking daily readings above thresholds may improve early warning and maternal–fetal outcomes.

Gut bacteria found to make serotonin and boost intestinal motility

Researchers have identified Limosilactobacillus mucosae and Ligilactobacillus ruminis as human gut bacteria capable of producing serotonin by decarboxylating 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Their activity enhances intestinal motility and enteric nerve density, linking microbial serotonin synthesis to gut function and potential IBS mechanisms.
