Women with PCOS have lower life satisfaction, poorer health beyond reproductive years

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome experience poor health and quality of life into their late forties, according to new research published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Adolescents with PCOS and obesity have more 'unhealthy' gut bacteria

Teens with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome have more "unhealthy" gut bacteria suggesting the microbiome may play a role in the disorder, according to new research published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Johns Hopkins researchers warn of new infectious diseases and death due to global warming

The Journal of Clinical Investigation recently published "Viewpoint" articles by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine professors who warn that global climate change is likely to unlock dangerous new microbes, as well as threaten humans' ability to regulate body temperature.

Blood tests can predict timing of menopause for women

Blood tests could replace menstrual periods as a gauge for when a women is nearing menopause, according to new research published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

New blood test more accurately predicts the final menstrual period

Researchers in the United States have demonstrated that a new blood test could be a superior marker of the time to menopause than bleeding patterns, or previously available tests.

Fat cells can sense light, not getting enough raises risk of metabolic diseases

All life forms need sunlight to survive and not getting enough may impact health and well-being. There is a growing body of evidence that getting enough sunlight can promote optimum health. A new study supports this claim as scientists found that fat cells deep in the skin can detect sunlight and not getting enough can increase the risk of metabolic disruption.

Persistant industrial chemical modifies gut microbiome of mice

An industrial chemical -- phased out since 2002, but previously used in stain and water-repellent products and firefighting foam -- alters the gut microbiome of mice and could have implications for human health, according to an international team of researchers.

Scientists develop capsule shell composition for enzyme needed to treat phenylketonuria

IKBFU scientists developed the composition of the capsule shell for the enzyme needed in the treatment of a hereditary disease called "phenylketonuria".

Lack of exposure to sunlight may increase metabolic syndrome risk

Yes, fat cells deep under your skin can sense light. And when bodies do not get enough exposure to the right kinds of light, fat cells behave differently.

Discovery of new killer T-cell offers hope of a 'one-size-fits-all' cancer therapy

Researchers at Cardiff University have discovered a new type of killer T-cell that offers hope of a "one-size-fits-all" cancer therapy.

Discovery of metabolic system could lead to new strategies for cancer treatment

Australian researchers have uncovered a metabolic system which could lead to new strategies for therapeutic cancer treatment.

TBI impairs growth hormone production, disrupting cognition, memory and sleep

More than 2.5 million people in the United States alone experience a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, each year. Some of these people are plagued by a seemingly unrelated cascade of health issues for years after their head injury, including fatigue, depression, anxiety, memory issues, and sleep disturbances.

Novel drug inhibits liver damage, obesity and glucose intolerance in mice fed with high-fat diet

Mice given a new drug targeting a key gene involved in lipid and glucose metabolism could tolerate a high-fat diet regimen (composed of 60% fat from lard) without developing significant liver damage, becoming obese, or disrupting their body's glucose balance.

Magnetized molecules help monitor breast cancer

A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports on a novel type of scanning which uses magnetized molecules to visualize active areas within a breast tumor specifically. This marks the first successful attempt to demonstrate the role of this type of scanning in the field of breast cancer monitoring.

New uses for old medicines

It turns out that in the rush to invent new drugs to treat cancers, scientists may have overlooked some obvious possibilities of existing drugs currently being used for other diseases. A new study says that therapies for diabetes, inflammation and alcoholism, and even for dog arthritis, can also result in the successful killing of cancer cells in culture.
