$1.91 million grant to explore human internal "clock” as a tool for optimizing tissue regeneration

The human internal "clock" responsible for regulating sleep cycles and many other biological functions will be explored as a tool for optimizing tissue regeneration under a $1.91 million grant University of Massachusetts Amherst biomedical engineer and assistant professor Cathal Kearney has received from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of General Medical Sciences.

Metabolite discovery offers a potential way to address metabolic conditions

"Metabolism" describes the body's chemical changes that create the necessary materials for growth and overall health. Metabolites are the substances made and used during these metabolic processes-;or, as a new discovery out of Scripps Research and its drug development arm, Calibr, indicates, they could also be potent molecules for treating severe diseases.

Bionic pancreas effective at maintaining blood glucose levels in people with type 1 diabetes

A device known as a bionic pancreas, which uses next-generation technology to automatically deliver insulin, was more effective at maintaining blood glucose (sugar) levels within normal range than standard-of-care management among people with type 1 diabetes, a new multicenter clinical trial has found.

Cardiovascular risk factors – not preexisting heart disease – are the main contributors to COVID-19 death

A national study suggests that risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as age, smoking and diabetes – not preexisting heart disease – are the main contributors to death and poor outcomes for critically ill COVID-19 patients.

Sustained blood pressure control necessary to reduce the burden of fatal cardiovascular events

In 2015, published findings from the landmark Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) showed that intensive blood pressure management reduced cardiovascular disease and lowered the risk of death. In 2019, results of the SPRINT MIND trial showed that lowering blood pressure also reduced the risk of mild cognitive impairment in older adults.

Study identifies regional differences in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

The environment could be playing a critical role in the expression of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women living in Alabama, as compared to women in California, according to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.

Scientists show how cellular hypoxia response increases fetal hemoglobin expression in adults

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have shown how a protein responsible for adapting to low oxygen conditions (hypoxia), causes increased expression of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in adults.

Exercise can favorably modify subcutaneous adipose tissue that can improve metabolic health

Exercise is one of the first strategies used to treat obesity-related health problems like Type 2 diabetes and other cardiovascular disease, but scientists don’t understand exactly how it works to improve metabolic health.

Observational study explores the real-world efficacy of oral antivirals against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant

A new study reported the real-world efficacy of oral antiviral therapies nirmatrelvir plus ritonavir, and molnupiravir on the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant, based on an observational study among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in Hong Kong.

Insights into why midlife women gain weight

Weight gain is a common complaint of midlife women, with more than two-thirds of midlife US women being over the ideal weight threshold. Aging-related metabolic changes promote weight gain in both sexes, but women face additional challenges because of menopause.

BMI: The mismeasure of weight and the mistreatment of obesity

People who seek medical treatment for obesity or an eating disorder do so with the hope their health plan will pay for part of it. But whether it's covered often comes down to a measure invented almost 200 years ago by a Belgian mathematician as part of his quest to use statistics to define the "average man."
