Recent research in Advances In Nutrition reviews the benefits of probiotics for healthy individuals, highlighting evidence gaps and the need for further study to support preventive recommendations.

Researchers identified distinct hindbrain GLP1R neurons driving satiety and aversion, offering new targets for effective, side-effect-free obesity treatments.

Study highlights the significant impact of genetic risk and lifestyle on early- and late-onset cardiovascular diseases, showing that lifestyle improvements can notably reduce CVD risk, especially in high genetic risk individuals.

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) have unveiled a pioneering study shedding light on the intricate mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD). The study, titled "Effects of amyloid-β-mimicking peptide hydrogel matrix on neuronal progenitor cell phenotype," represents a significant leap forward in understanding the interplay between amyloid-like structures and neuronal cells.

A new editorial paper was published in Oncoscience (Volume 11) on May 20, 2024, entitled, "Entering the golden age for antibody-drug conjugates in gynecologic cancer."

Infections and neurodegenerative diseases cause inflammation in the brain. But for unknown reasons, patients with brain inflammation often develop muscle problems that seem to be independent of the central nervous system. Now, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have revealed how brain inflammation releases a specific protein that travels from the brain to the muscles and causes a loss of muscle function.

Researchers from University of California San Diego have found that two of the most frequently administered stem cell therapies, which are often used interchangeably, actually contain completely different types of cells. The results challenge the current "one-cell-cures-all" paradigm in orthopedic stem cell therapeutics and highlight the need for more informed and rigorous characterization of injectable stem cell therapies before they are marketed for use in patients.

A recent study from Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital has identified a specific neural activity pattern as a novel biomarker to accurately predict and monitor the clinical status of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who have undergone deep brain stimulation (DBS), a rapidly emerging therapeutic approach for severe psychiatric disorders. The study, led by led by Drs. Sameer Sheth and Wayne Goodman along with co-lead authors, Drs. Nicole Provenza, Sandy Reddy, and Anthony Allam, was published in Nature Medicine.

Tom Green County District Court Judge Barbara L. Walther ruled Thursday, July 11, 2024, that Angelo State University must release public records relating to an experiment conducted on dozens of mice that resulted in the animals' unnecessary suffering and death, reportedly to study the impact of the foster care system on human children.

Researchers have used gene editing to restore hearing in adult mice with a type of inherited hearing loss. They showed that shutting down a damaged copy of a gene called a microRNA (miRNA) enabled the animals to regain hearing. The approach by a research team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), reported in Science Translational Medicine, may eventually lead to potential treatments for inherited hearing loss in people.

The International Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (IADR) and the American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research (AADOCR) have announced the publication of revised guidelines for adequately reporting findings from oral health research. Overviews and explanations of the new guidelines, called the "OHStat Guidelines," will be published in an upcoming issue of Journal of Dental Research as part of a collaborative effort with The Angle Orthodontics, Journal of Endodontics, Journal of the American Dental Association, and Journal of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery. Additionally, a companion paper will be published in an upcoming issue of JDR Clinical & Translational Research.

A newly defined threshold for the concentration of the cytokine CXCL13 may improve the diagnosis of neuroborreliosis.

As many as half of all patients admitted to hospital and other healthcare facilities are malnourished. This has serious consequences for the individual in terms of unnecessary suffering, poorer quality of life and mortality.
