A study reports that a unique probiotic strain, Bifidobacterium bifidum BB1, enhances intestinal barrier function and reduces inflammation in IBD patients.

Harvard researchers found that donepezil, an FDA-approved Alzheimer's drug, can induce a hibernation-like state in tadpoles, potentially providing crucial time to treat severe injuries in emergency settings.

A study from Van Andel Institute reveals that immune cells use two pathways, ACLY and ACSS2, to produce acetyl-CoA, an essential metabolite for fighting infection and cancer. These findings highlight the interplay between metabolism and epigenetics.

A study reveals that 20% of chronic cough patients are prescribed opioid-containing cough suppressants, with Medicaid and older patients more likely to receive these drugs.

A new study reveals that polyphenols, found in plant-based foods, activate bitter taste receptors in the gut, promoting hormone secretion that regulates blood sugar and appetite.

University of Cologne scientists identified histone H1.2 and PARP1 as potential therapeutic targets in ALS. Inhibiting these proteins reduced neurodegeneration in both human motor neurons and C. elegans models.

After trawling through data from 31 prior study groups, researchers found that those who regularly ate meat were significantly more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

Some dying or dead cells are consumed by their neighbors, and new research has underpinned the mechanism behind this process in hair follicles.

Researchers at the Czech Academy of Sciences have developed a lipidized version of the CART peptide that crosses the blood-brain barrier. In animal models, it reduces obesity and protects against Alzheimer's by decreasing tau protein pathology.

MIT researchers discovered that fasting enhances intestinal regeneration, driven by stem cells during the refeeding stage. However, this heightened regenerative state increases cancer risk in mice with preexisting cancer mutations during refeeding.
