 | | |  Nearly half of adults now live with heart disease as obesity and diabetes surge The 2026 American Heart Association Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics report shows that nearly half of adults are living with cardiovascular disease, with cardiometabolic risk factors projected to rise substantially by 2050. Despite progress in smoking reduction and cholesterol control, worsening obesity, diabetes, hypertension, sleep health, and persistent inequities threaten future cardiovascular health. | | | | |  Why eating more oats can rapidly reduce cholesterol levels Oat consumption boosts gut microbiota-derived phenolic metabolites, driving cholesterol-lowering effects and improving lipid metabolism in metabolic syndrome. | |

|  | | | | |  New role for GLP-1 drugs: Improving survival in people with severe psychiatric disorders This editorial argues that GLP-1 receptor agonists could substantially improve healthspan and reduce premature mortality in people with serious mental illnesses by targeting cardiometabolic risk rather than psychiatric symptoms alone. It highlights emerging evidence, safety considerations, and equity challenges that position GLP-1 RAs as a promising public health strategy for this high-risk population. | |  | | | | |  When you eat matters: early time-restricted eating improves metabolic health Time-restricted eating improves several metabolic outcomes compared with usual diets, with benefits observed for body weight, adiposity, blood pressure, insulin, glucose, and triglycerides. Early eating windows consistently outperform late eating, while the optimal duration of food intake remains uncertain. | | | | | | | _1b78fec41a5143afb6e7b9ad317023d2-300x250__639052338058425340_multisizecolor_195_white.jpg) Peptide-based platform marks a major step toward needle-free diabetes care For more than a century, oral insulin has been considered a "dream" therapy for diabetes, hindered by enzymatic degradation in the digestive tract and the absence of a dedicated intestinal transport mechanism. Consequently, many patients must rely on daily insulin injections, which can significantly reduce their quality of life. | |

| | | |  This randomized controlled trial shows that structured moderate-to-vigorous exercise, alone or combined with liraglutide, improves physical function and cardiorespiratory fitness after diet-induced weight loss in adults with obesity. In contrast, liraglutide alone sustains weight loss but does not significantly improve measured physical fitness outcomes. | | | | |  Research shows the EAT-Lancet diet may lower chronic kidney disease risk, emphasizing the importance of diet quality and personalized nutrition in prevention. | | | | |  Modern lifestyle factors such as circadian disruption, sleep deprivation, stress, and exercise reshape the gut bacteriome and its metabolic outputs. These microbiome changes are linked to immune, metabolic, and cancer-related pathways, largely through evidence from animal models and observational human studies. | | | | |  The endothelial glycocalyx integrates mechanical signals with vascular biology, playing a vital role in health and disease, particularly in sepsis and diabetes. | | | | |  People with type 2 diabetes face a higher risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular problems, according to the National Institutes of Health. | | | | |  Prediabetes is an extremely heterogeneous metabolic disorder. Scientists from several partner institutes of the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) have now used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify epigenetic markers that indicate an elevated risk of complications. | | | | |  Explore scalable strategies for iPSC-derived islet differentiation using GMP-grade activin A and KGF to advance diabetes therapeutics. | | | | |  Researchers have identified a protein pattern that, already at birth, looks markedly different in those who later go on to develop type 1 diabetes. The findings show that a combination of several factors during pregnancy increases the risk of the child later developing the disease. The study is published in Nature Communications and was led by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, and the University of Florida, USA. | | | | |  University of Virginia School of Data Science researcher Heman Shakeri has been awarded a major new research grant to lead work at the intersection of machine learning and diabetes care. | | | | |  A woman's insulin levels in midlife are linked to the timing and duration of menopausal hot flashes, night sweats and cold sweats, according to new research from the University of Victoria (UVic). | | | | |  The effect of obesity on brain health may depend not only on how much fat is in the body, but also on the areas of the body where fat is stored, according to a study published today in Radiology, the flagship journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). | | | | |  How camel milk’s unique proteins and bioactive compounds are reshaping scientific understanding of dairy nutrition, while revealing where the evidence is strong and where more research is still needed. | | | | |  Organoids are three-dimensional miniature models of organs, grown in a dish. | | | | |  More than 135 million American adults are either living with or at risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D), elevating the need for more evidence-based dietary guidance to help this growing population achieve optimal health and reduce risks for T2D and its complications. | |
