New study uncovers effects of beer compound on cartilage cells in osteoarthritis

Formononetin (FNT), an isoflavonoid present in beer, was investigated for its effects on chondrocytes, the cells responsible for joint health. While low levels of FNT showed no harm and reduced inflammation, excessive exposure promoted catabolic responses, shedding light on the relationship between beer consumption and osteoarthritis risk.

Breakthrough discovery could lead to new treatments for brain metastases

When cancer that starts in the body metastasizes to the brain, it is almost always lethal, in part because so few treatment options exist. Now a new study by Wistar scientists published in Nature Communications shows that a type of brain cell called astrocytes plays an important role in promoting brain metastasis by recruiting a specific subpopulation of immune cells.
