Placental stem cell therapy shows promise for diabetic foot ulcers

An experimental cell therapy was well tolerated in 10 people with chronic diabetic foot ulcers, according to first-in-human study led by researchers at Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM).

A 43-gram sugar gap separates adults who check food labels from those who rarely do

A nationally representative US study of 9,416 children and adults found that frequent nutrition label users consumed an average of 42.8 g less added sugar daily among adults and 14.5 g less among children compared with infrequent users. The findings suggest an association between checking nutrition labels and lower added sugar intake, although the observational study could not establish causation.

A 12-year study links longer TV viewing to faster kidney function decline

A 12-year study of 6,220 Australian adults found that longer daily television viewing was associated with faster kidney function decline, with a stronger association among people with type 2 diabetes. Exploratory analyses suggested that women and physically inactive individuals may also be more affected, although some findings were inconsistent and the observational study could not establish causation.

Gut microbial metabolites may reshape fat tissue through Wnt pathways

Fat tissue grows in two ways: existing fat cells swell, or progenitor cells spawn new fat cells. When new-cell formation falls behind long-term energy surplus, lipids pile up inside aging fat cells-bringing inflammation, insulin resistance, and fat deposits in the liver and muscle.

Exercise benefits people with chronic disease, but does the type matter?

A meta-analysis of 48 studies found that physical activity improved several chronic disease-related health indicators, particularly blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiorespiratory fitness, with significant benefits among people with hypertension and diabetes. Aerobic exercise had the strongest statistical evidence in the primary analysis, but no exercise type proved superior, and substantial variation between studies limited the certainty of the findings.

Tea consumption showed a more modest and less consistent association, with the authors reporting a 5% lower AF risk at 2–3 cups daily, although the observational findings cannot establish causation.
