Fasting Protects Against Aging-Associated Diseases
Researchers found evidence that fasting affects circadian clocks in the liver and skeletal muscle, causing them to rewire their metabolism, which can ultimately lead to improved health and protection against aging-associated diseases.
Protein Alteration Controls Cell's Response to Stress, Immunity and Lifespan
Scientists have revealed new insight into a stress-response mechanism, unfolded protein response (UPR), tnat will help researchers understand the processes that protect cells, boost immunity and extend lifespan.
Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs Reduce Brown Adipose Tissue
Researchers report that statins, one of the most commonly prescribed classes of pharmaceuticals, reduce beneficial brown adipose tissue. Statins also increase risk of developing diabetes, suggesting a possible link between the two effects.
‘Nanoscavengers’ Could Protect People From Sarin Gas, Other Nerve Agents
In the 1980s, thousands of Iranians were killed from exposure to the nerve agents sarin and tobin unleased by Iraqi forces. Similar chemicals have been used against soldiers and civilians in recent wars and terrorist attacks. Now, researchers are reporting a new therapy that may be able to provide long-acting protection against these agents.
Gut Microbiome Regulates the Intestinal Immune System
A new study in mice unveils the role of vitamin A in immune system regulation, a finding that could assist in developing treatments for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases as well as vitamin A deficiency.
Biologists Turn Eavesdropping Viruses Into Bacterial Assassins
Researchers have found a bacteria-killing virus that can listen in on bacterial conversations – and then they made it attack diseases including salmonella, E. coli and cholera.
Potential Arthritis Treatment Prevents Cartilage Breakdown
In a new treatment that could improve options available for osteoarthritis, engineers have designed a material that can be directly injected deeply into cartilage to deliver drugs that could potentially heal damaged tissue.
Link Between Neonatal Vitamin D Deficiency and Schizophrenia Confirmed
Newborns with vitamin D deficiency have an increased risk of schizophrenia later in life, a team of Australian and Danish researchers has reported. The discovery could help prevent some cases of the disease by treating vitamin D deficiency during the earliest stages of life.
Tissue-Engineered Spinal Disks Mimic Real Thing
Two-thirds of adults in the US will suffer from back or neck pain during their lifetimes. In this report researchers are getting closer to engineering healthy disk-like structures to implant in humans. In animal trials the disks become stable and well-integrated into the native tissue of the spinal columns several weeks post-surgery.
Experimental Drug Cocktail Yields Greatest Lifespan Extension Ever Seen in Animals
Scientists tried experimental combinations of different compounds on the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, and found that cocktails made up of already existing drugs could both slow the effects of ageing and significantly boost the animals' longevity.
