A short-term oat-based diet appears to be surprisingly effective at reducing the cholesterol level. This is indicated by a trial by the University of Bonn, which has now been published in the journal Nature Communications. The participants suffered from a metabolic syndrome – a combination of high body weight, high blood pressure, and elevated blood … Read more
An international research team led by Prof. Dr. Sedat Nizamoğlu from the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Koç University has developed a next-generation, safe, and wireless stimulation technology for retinal degenerative diseases that cause vision loss. The study was published in Science Advances, one of the world’s most prestigious scientific journals. Retinal degenerative … Read more
Background and aims Bacterial infections (BIs) are common and severe complications in patients with liver cirrhosis, but global data are limited. Here, we aimed to evaluate the global prevalence, temporal changes, and associated mortality risk of BIs in liver cirrhosis. Methods We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for eligible … Read more

The rising incidence of cancer worldwide has led to an increasing number of surgeries that involve the removal of lymph nodes. Although these procedures play a major role in cancer staging and preventing the spread of malignancies, they sometimes come with severe long-term consequences. Since lymph nodes do not naturally regenerate once removed, their absence … Read more
Researchers from the University of Seville have participated in research to identify the molecular details of the regulation of an enzyme essential for sugar metabolism and closely linked to cell proliferation and growth: pyruvate kinase. The results, the fruit of an extensive collaboration between the team led by Professor Irene Díaz Moreno of the … Read more
Together with colleagues from Stanford University, USA, researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) have, for the first time, created a comprehensive cell type-specific atlas of lysosomes in the brain, the cell organelles which are responsible for degradation and recycling processes. The study shows that lysosomes in neurons differ significantly … Read more
Researchers at the University of California (UC) Irvine, US, call for more research to better understand how dietary supplements can contribute to nutrition security, as this is under threat from environmental challenges. They note that environmental challenges are threatening nutrition and related health outcomes. These include rising carbon dioxide concentrations, changes in climate patterns, or … Read more
Analyzing nearly 11.5 million births across four decades, researchers use rigorous methods to show that fluoridated drinking water is not linked to lower birth weight. Study: Community Water Fluoridation and Birth Outcomes. Image credit: Tatjana Meininger/Shutterstock.com While fluoridated water is widely considered a public health benefit, its potential association with reduced birth weight has often … Read more
In the time it takes to blink, octopus and cuttlefish can seemingly disappear into their underwater environment by changing both the color and texture of their skin. Replicating these dual camouflage tactics in synthetic materials, however, has long stumped engineers. Stanford researchers have begun to crack the code, developing a programmable polymer film that can … Read more
