 | | |  Researchers show how smartwatches can help identify insulin resistance Researchers developed a scalable framework that predicts insulin resistance using wearable-device signals, routine blood biomarkers, and demographic data, with stronger performance when these data streams were combined. The study also introduced an AI agent to explain insulin resistance risk, interpret results, and support earlier metabolic risk screening. | | | | |  Palmatine improved fatty liver markers in a preclinical type 2 diabetes study Researchers used a bioinformatics-plus-rat-model approach to investigate how palmatine may help treat T2DM-associated MASLD, identifying five core targets: ADRB2, BCL3, EGR1, FOS, and MAP3K8. In rats, palmatine improved liver injury, inflammation, oxidative stress, glycolipid metabolism, steatosis, and fibrosis, while reducing apoptosis-related signaling, providing a preclinical foundation for further therapeutic study. | |

|  | | | | |  Systematic review identifies stress-induced biological triggers in oncology Stress is a constant companion in the oncologist's office. It appears at the time of diagnosis, increases with each stage of treatment, and often does not resolve even after therapy formally ends. It accompanies therapeutic decisions, waiting for test results, fear of recurrence, and changes in daily functioning. Studies show that chronic stress can trigger biological processes that promote disease progression and weaken the body's defenses. | |

| | | |  Obesity increases the body's need for insulin, forcing cells in the pancreas known as beta cells to ramp up insulin production to maintain blood sugar levels. | | | | | Research published in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology provides robust evidence for the use of a digital visualization and decision support tool in colorectal (bowel) surgery. | |
