| | For decades, amino acids have been added to medical formulations like insulin as stabilizers: these small molecules keep proteins (i.e. larger particles) from interacting in undesirable ways. And for decades, scientists have known that this works – but not why. | |
|
| |  New research from the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre has found that genes play an active role in shaping the bacteria found in our gut, questioning the idea that gut health is influenced only by diet. | |
|
| |  The new class of anti-obesity drugs, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), is proving remarkably effective at helping individuals lose weight. | |
|
| |  As chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and articular wounds continue to challenge global healthcare systems, a team of researchers from China has introduced a promising innovation: AI-integrated conductive hydrogel dressings for intelligent wound monitoring and healing. | |
|
| |  A new genetic test developed at Mayo Clinic is redefining how clinicians diagnose and manage hereditary pancreatitis. | |
|
| |  Researchers used drug-target Mendelian randomization to test whether genetically proxied activation of GLP1R and GIPR influences alcohol-related behaviors. They found that GIPR, especially when combined with GLP1R, was linked to lower binge and heavy drinking, healthier food preferences, improved liver markers, and reduced coronary artery disease risk. | |
|
| |  Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is the second most common genitourinary cancer, leading to over 16,000 deaths a year in the United States. Despite recent advances, the 5-year survival rate for metastatic UC remains around five to ten percent. | |
|
| | Higher activity of PGC-1α enables brown fat cells in females to thermogenic activity and energy expenditure compared to males, reveals a study conducted in Japan. | |
|
| |  A new synthesis of global evidence finds that experiencing gestational diabetes during pregnancy is linked with a decline in intellectual function among mothers, and may increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. | |
|
| |  New research being presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15-19 September) shows that individuals who are taking semaglutide for weight loss experience less food noise than before. | |
|
| |  Cannabis use is linked to an almost quadrupling in the risk of developing diabetes, according to an analysis of real-world data from over 4 million adults, being presented at this year's Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15-19 Sept). | |
|
| | Weill Cornell Medicine has received a four-year, $3.4 million grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, for a study of the details and dynamics of the autoimmune process that causes type 1 diabetes. | |
|
| |  Neurocognitive impairments are classified by pathological changes with potential for destruction of neural tissue. One change known to occur in neurodegenerative disorders is an accumulation of proteins causing pathological damage. | |
|
| |  The relative increase in odds of an individual with diabetes developing severe symptoms of depression – and vice versa – is the same, regardless of where they live, a study of over-50s in 18 countries in Europe that is being presented at the Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15-19 September) has found. | |
|
| |  A diet focused on healthy plant-based foods may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new study by Solomon Sowah and colleagues from the MRC Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, published September 16th in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine. | |
