Popular anti-obesity medications continue to be effective for weight loss even when availability and access is interrupted, according to a study being presented by a private weight-loss company Monday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif.

Real-time protein misfolding detection by MiROM for cancer treatment monitoring

Tue, 07/15/2025 - 00:43
MiROM identifies proteins by using mid-infrared light to detect molecular vibrations – essentially the natural "dance" of molecules within protein structures. Unlike optical spectroscopy, which measures light attenuation, optoacoustics capture ultrasound waves generated when proteins absorb infrared light.

Insomnia may be the missing link between ADHD and low life satisfaction

Tue, 07/15/2025 - 00:40
Insomnia could explain why adults with ADHD traits report having a lower quality of life, according to new research led by the University of Southampton and the Netherlands Institute of Neuroscience.

Women who work night shifts may have an increased risk for irregular periods and hormonal imbalances, according to a study being presented Monday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif.

Adding nut extract helps keep pork burgers healthier and safer

Mon, 07/14/2025 - 23:40
Researchers found that adding hazelnut skin green extract to pork burgers significantly reduced harmful lipid oxidation during cooking and digestion. This natural by-product may help extend shelf life and offer a clean-label alternative to synthetic preservatives in meat products.

Visual food cues may lead to overeating even without hunger

Mon, 07/14/2025 - 23:30
Watching others eat tasty foods may lead to overeating, even in the absence of hunger, according to a new mouse study being presented Monday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif.

Autoimmune diseases, like multiple sclerosis result when the body's immune system starts to attack its own cells. Regulatory T cells, a subtype of T cells play a critical role in suppressing these attacks.

New nanobody-liposome combo stops lung cancer growth and delivers targeted chemotherapy

Mon, 07/14/2025 - 22:10
Researchers engineered a nanobody-conjugated liposome (A5-LNP-DOX) that targets CD155 and delivers doxorubicin directly to lung adenocarcinoma cells, dramatically suppressing tumor growth in preclinical models. This approach not only inhibited cancer cell migration and invasion but also showed strong potential for safer, more precise lung cancer therapy.
