Loss of smell linked to weight loss in mice despite same food intake, study reveals

Experiments conducted at the University of California, Berkeley, suggest that the odor of food has a direct link with how the body processes the calories. The new study conducted on mice published in the first week of July in the journal Cell Metabolism implicates that the ability to detect the smell of food is related to whether the calories are burnt rather than stored.

Alzheimer’s disease specific brain deposits photographed for the first time in vivid detail

Scientists from the Britain's Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology have for the first time, clearly pictured what the deposits typically seen in a person with Alzheimer’s disease look like. This is a breakthrough in neurodegenerative diseases. The latest study showing the structure of tau protein was published in the journal Nature.
