|  | | | | |  Exerkines explained: The exercise molecules that prevent chronic disease This article examines how exercise-induced exerkines prevent disease, as well as promote metabolic, cardiovascular, immune, and neurological health. | |  | | | | |  Distinct gut toxicity patterns emerge with targeted cancer treatments A new paper was published in Volume 13 of Oncoscience on February 6, 2026, titled "Gastrointestinal toxicity of targeted cancer therapies in the United States: Clinicopathologic patterns, FDA safety frameworks, and implications for national patient protection." | | | | | | |  Easy-to-use blood test score can help identify alcohol-related fatty liver disease Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a new, easy-to-use blood test score that can help identify when fatty liver disease is being driven by excessive alcohol use, an important distinction that often goes unrecognized in routine care. | |

|  | | |  Ramadevi Subramani Reddy, Ph.D., remembers the neem tree from her childhood in India - a plant her grandmother used to treat everything from fevers to infections. | | | | |  A new electronic implant system can help lab‑grown pancreatic cells mature and function properly, potentially providing a basis for novel, cell-based therapies for diabetes. | | | | |  A Cell Death & Disease review synthesizes preclinical evidence that circular RNAs regulate adipose browning and metabolic pathways through microRNA interactions, protein binding, and organelle-linked stress mechanisms. It highlights their biomarker and therapeutic potential in obesity and type 2 diabetes while underscoring key translational challenges, including delivery specificity and human validation. | | | | |  Pre-pregnancy parental overweight and obesity is linked to the next generation's heightened risk of developing fatty liver disease, a potential precursor to cirrhosis and liver failure, suggests research published online in the journal Gut. | | | | |  Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Ludwig Center uncovered new evidence that extra copies of a specific chromosome segment - chromosome 1q - may play a key role in the earliest stages of pancreatic cancer development. | | | | | Organ donation after the heart stops beating, a practice called donation after circulatory death, has gone from rare to routine in the United States, a new study shows. | | | | | Autophagy is indispensable for maintaining hepatocyte integrity, metabolic homeostasis, and survival. While several autophagy-related proteins have been studied in hepatic physiology, the specific role of Autophagy Related 14 (ATG14) in liver health has remained unclear. | | | | | The international group of experts, including Professor John Bridgewater (UCL Cancer Institute), is calling for rapid improvements in diagnosis, treatment and research for cholangiocarcinoma, also known as bile duct cancer. | | | | | A new study suggests that pancreatic cancer may start preparing to "hide" from the immune system long before the disease becomes full-blown cancer. | | | | | Menopausal hormone therapy (commonly known as hormone replacement therapy or HRT) is not associated with an increased risk of death, finds a Danish study of over 800,000 women published by The BMJ today. | |
