 | | |  Why people regain weight after dieting: The science of metabolism, hormones, and appetite Weight loss triggers biological adaptations, including hormonal shifts, metabolic slowing, neural reward changes, and adipose tissue memory, that can make long-term weight maintenance challenging. Understanding these mechanisms helps explain why obesity behaves as a chronic, relapsing condition requiring sustained management strategies. | | | | |  Researchers propose that Parkinson’s disease may start in the gut, not the brain A perspective in The Journal of Clinical Investigation argues that environmental exposures may interact with the gut microbiome and intestinal barrier to trigger biological processes linked to Parkinson’s disease. The authors propose that cumulative environmental stressors can erode host resilience, promoting α-synuclein pathology, immune activation, and neurodegeneration. | |

| | | | |  Discover how just four minutes of supramaximal interval training can trigger powerful cardiovascular, metabolic, and psychological adaptations that rival longer traditional workouts. | | | | |  A large UK Biobank study of more than 350,000 adults found that social isolation, but not loneliness alone, was associated with a modest increase in overall cancer risk during over 11 years of follow-up. The association was stronger in women and appeared partly linked to socioeconomic disadvantage, unhealthy behaviors, and inflammatory processes. | | | | |  Researchers have found that targeted delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) can restore sperm production and fertility in genetically infertile male mice. | | | | |  A qualitative case study examined how older adults experience joy, accessibility, and well-being while participating in a community dance program at Canada’s National Ballet School. Using video elicitation and focus groups, participants described how inclusive class design, music, storytelling, and social connection supported meaningful engagement in later life. | | | | |  Samantha Smith of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, went into the operating room for emergency removal of an ectopic pregnancy. | | | | |  Researchers analyzed clinical data from 141 treatment-seeking patients with compulsive buying-shopping disorder to determine whether women and men differ in symptom severity, psychiatric comorbidities, and shopping behaviors. The study found that men and women show similar clinical severity and treatment engagement, but differ mainly in the types of products they compulsively purchase. | | | | |  This article explains how diet creates sustained epigenetic changes that affect long-term health, disease risk, aging, and future environmental responses. | |
