Blocking GAPDH aggregation protects brain cells and opens new path for stroke therapy

Sun, 07/20/2025 - 22:49
In a mouse model of acute ischemic stroke, researchers showed that inhibiting the aggregation of GAPDH, either genetically or with a novel peptide, significantly reduced brain damage and improved neurological function. The findings highlight GAPDH aggregation as a promising therapeutic target for stroke intervention.

AI turns old diabetes drug Halicin into a potent weapon against superbugs

Sun, 07/20/2025 - 22:15
Researchers found that Halicin, an AI-identified drug, effectively inhibited most multidrug-resistant bacteria except Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study highlights Halicin’s broad-spectrum antibacterial potential and the transformative role of artificial intelligence in antibiotic discovery.

Why obesity spikes with wealth: The real culprit is on your plate

Sun, 07/20/2025 - 21:56
Economic development drives higher obesity rates worldwide, but not because people move less. Instead, rising consumption of ultraprocessed foods plays a much bigger role than declining physical activity in the global obesity crisis.

Nigerian botanicals restore hormonal balance and fight menstrual pain in preclinical study

Sun, 07/20/2025 - 21:39
Researchers tested five Nigerian medicinal plants in female rats and found that these botanicals reversed MSG-induced hormonal imbalance, oxidative stress, and lipid disruptions linked to dysmenorrhea. The findings support further investigation of plant-based therapies for menstrual pain and related metabolic risks.

Even healthy eating can’t guarantee cavity-free kids, study reports

Sun, 07/20/2025 - 21:18
Researchers studying low-income children in upstate New York found three distinct snack and drink consumption patterns. However, none of these dietary patterns predicted early childhood caries, highlighting the complex, multifactorial origins of the condition.

Boosting gut-friendly foods may slow biological aging, large US study finds

Sun, 07/20/2025 - 20:54
Higher scores on a dietary index linked to gut microbiota health are associated with slower biological aging in US adults, according to a large cross-sectional NHANES study. The findings suggest that improving diet quality for gut microbial diversity may help reduce age-related disease risk.

Mind-body exercise best reduces frailty and boosts quality of life in older adults, study finds

Sun, 07/20/2025 - 20:31
A network meta-analysis of 35 RCTs found that mind-body training is the most effective exercise modality for reducing frailty and improving quality of life in older adults. Mind-body interventions outperformed aerobic, strength, and mixed training across diverse populations and settings.

Zebrafish reveal how two genes independently drive sensory organ regeneration

Sun, 07/20/2025 - 20:20
Researchers identified that two cyclin D genes, ccndx and ccnd2a, independently regulate distinct stem and progenitor cell populations during zebrafish sensory organ regeneration. The findings reveal that regeneration can proceed via alternative pathways even when one gene is disrupted, providing new insight into tissue repair mechanisms.
