Tirzepatide activates brown fat, boosting metabolism beyond appetite control
Tirzepatide is one of the drugs that has revolutionized the treatment of obesity and other conditions such as diabetes in recent years.
ATG14 found to be a critical defender against hepatic injury and fibrosis
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.
ChatGPT Health fails critical emergency and suicide safety tests
ChatGPT Health, a widely used consumer artificial intelligence (AI) tool that provides health guidance directly to the public-including advice about how urgently to seek medical care-may fail to direct users appropriately to emergency care in a significant number of serious cases, according to researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
Indoor plants help create healthier, more climate-resilient buildings
Houseplants and more advanced plant systems, such as indoor living walls and hydroponic towers, have the potential to raise indoor humidity, boost thermal comfort and help create healthier, more climate-resilient buildings, according to new research led by the University of Surrey's Global Centre for Clean Air Research.
Child stunting: Historical evidence confirms global eradication is possible
New research led by LSE reveals that high‑income countries once suffered severe child stunting comparable to rates seen in many low‑ and middle‑income countries today, offering powerful evidence that child stunting can be eliminated globally.
Standard doses of antidepressants during pregnancy appear to be safe, study suggests
Using a standard dose of antidepressants during pregnancy appears to be safe for the baby, suggests new research from the University of Oslo and Akershus University Hospital.
Brain's remarkable adaptation to upper limb difference aids children's daily lives
A unique study imaging brain activity in children born with upper limb difference – for example, one hand – has shown the amazing ability of the brain to adapt to compensate and support their daily lives.
Early exposure to unhealthy foods leaves lasting brain and feeding changes
Eating unhealthy foods early in life leave lasting brain and feeding changes but gut bacteria can help restore healthy eating, new University College Cork (UCC) research study finds today (Tuesday 24th February 10am)
Throwing cancer-driving proteins in the cellular trash
When cancer-driving proteins resist various treatments, Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a new solution. Don't fight them - throw them in the cellular trash.
Dual cure medical adhesive features high Tg and autoclave resistance

Swiss centenarians show youthful blood protein profiles in aging study
In Switzerland, 0.02% of the population lives beyond the age of 100. Could there be biological characteristics associated with this exceptional longevity? As part of the "SWISS100" study, the first large-scale Swiss research project dedicated to centenarians, a team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the University of Lausanne (UNIL) compared the blood profiles of centenarians with those of octogenarians, and then with those of individuals aged 30 to 60.
Moderate physical activity lowers risk of sarcopenic obesity in seniors

Modified Clostridium sporogenes shows promise in targeting solid tumors
A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumors from the inside out.
Bruker advances Functional Proteomics 2.0 with timsOmni™ mass spectrometry proteoform analysis for deeper insights into disease biology
Bruker Corporation today announced new advancements to enable Functional Proteomics 2.0 workflows on the timsOmni™ mass spectrometer to enable disease researchers to move beyond canonical protein lists toward biologically or pathologically functional proteoforms and PTM-resolved peptide variants.
Assessing long-term cognitive risks in ependymoma survivors
A study led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital assessed cognitive and communication abilities in children treated for the brain tumor ependymoma to understand the impact of treatment better. They found that radiation was a significant contributor to hearing loss, a risk directly linked to cognitive health.
UCLA Health finds eco-friendly inhalers improve COPD outcomes
New research from UCLA Health suggests that certain inhalers used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are not only less harmful to the environment but can also lead to slightly better patient outcomes. Inhalers are essential therapies for COPD and other lung conditions, but many commonly used devices rely on propellants that are potent greenhouse gases.
The gender gap in early Lyme disease detection and signs
In a new Johns Hopkins Medicine study, researchers found that male and female patients with early Lyme disease present with different signs of the disease in the symptoms they report, their physical exams, and their laboratory test results.
Oxytocin circuits mediate sleep loss-induced social memory deficits
Social memory-the ability to recognize familiar individuals and distinguish them from strangers-is fundamental to social cognition.
Transforming obese fat cells into energy burners
Ordinary fat cells in obese animals can be induced to burn energy stores, generating substantial heat, according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
