 Scientists revive diabetic beta cells, revealing a new path to restore insulin functionScientists revive diabetic beta cells, revealing a new path to restore insulin function
 
Researchers demonstrated that pancreatic β cells from type 2 diabetes donors can partially regain glucose responsiveness when cultured outside the diabetic environment. This recovery, driven by specific gene expression changes, identifies JAK inhibitors as potential therapeutic candidates to restore β-cell function.
 
 
 Top chromium-rich foods and their health benefits explainedTop chromium-rich foods and their health benefits explained
 
Discover how chromium, a trace nutrient found in whole grains, seafood, and brewer’s yeast, might subtly shape metabolism and insulin function while revealing why its true impact on human health remains under debate.
 
   Brain serotonin levels linked to sexual side effects from antidepressantsBrain serotonin levels linked to sexual side effects from antidepressants
 
Researchers have discovered that the ability to have an erection or to orgasm is related to the levels of serotonin in the brain, but this relation only applies to depressed patients taking SSRI antidepressants.
 
   Mass General Brigham study shows US obesity could jump from 40% to 70%Mass General Brigham study shows US obesity could jump from 40% to 70%
 
The prevalence of obesity in the United States could rise sharply under a new definition of obesity released earlier this year by the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology Commission.
 
   Heavy drinking fuels Alzheimer’s disease by igniting brain inflammation and protein damageHeavy drinking fuels Alzheimer’s disease by igniting brain inflammation and protein damage
 
Chronic alcohol use accelerates Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression by intensifying oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and amyloid-tau pathology through shared molecular pathways. The review highlights emerging therapies, targeting TLR4, GSK-3β, and metabolic dysfunction, that may mitigate alcohol-induced neurodegeneration.

 Review reveals how paternal lifestyle shapes sperm epigenetics and offspring health
 
Review reveals how paternal lifestyle shapes sperm epigenetics and offspring healthA new review in Clinical Epigenetics synthesises growing evidence that paternal lifestyle and environmental exposures such as diet, obesity, smoking, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and stress alter sperm epigenetic marks (DNA methylation, histone retention, and small non-coding RNAs).
 
 
 Gender-affirming hormone therapy rewrites body proteins to match gender identity
 
Gender-affirming hormone therapy rewrites body proteins to match gender identityMelbourne researchers have discovered gender-affirming hormone therapy can alter body proteins to match a person's gender identity, potentially affecting susceptibility to certain health conditions.
 
 
 MRI age clocks reveal how each organ ages differently and predict who develops disease or lives longer
 
MRI age clocks reveal how each organ ages differently and predict who develops disease or lives longerResearchers developed seven MRI-based biological age clocks across major organs using UK Biobank imaging, linking each to proteins, metabolites, genetics, disease risks, mortality, and cognitive decline. These organ-specific age gaps reveal how uneven aging shapes vulnerability to conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and dementia, opening new paths for precision prevention and clinical trial stratification
 
 
 New insights into MDMA therapy for PTSD and beyond
 
New insights into MDMA therapy for PTSD and beyondA comprehensive peer-reviewed invited review published today in Psychedelics by Dr. Kenji Hashimoto and colleagues (Dr. Mingming Zhao and Dr. Jianjun Yang) synthesizes the evolving landscape of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, examining robust clinical evidence in treatment-resistant posttraumatic stress disorder while identifying promising applications in autism spectrum disorder, eating disorders, and existential distress
 
 
 Maternal PFAS levels can predict children's brain structural and functional outcomes
 
Maternal PFAS levels can predict children's brain structural and functional outcomesResearchers from the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital, Finland, and örebro University, Sweden, have discovered that the levels of PFAS in mothers' blood during pregnancy is associated with their children's brain structure and function.
 
 
 New personalized therapy boosts tamoxifen effectiveness in breast cancer patients
 
New personalized therapy boosts tamoxifen effectiveness in breast cancer patientsBreast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide (WHO, 2023). The Dr. Margarete Fischer-Bosch Institute of Clinical Pharmacology (IKP) has now developed a new therapy in a clinical study that tailors hormone treatment for breast cancer to the individual patient.
 
 
 Low-fat vegan diet shown to reduce insulin use and costs in type 1 diabetes
 
Low-fat vegan diet shown to reduce insulin use and costs in type 1 diabetesA low-fat vegan diet that doesn't limit calories or carbohydrates could help people with type 1 diabetes reduce insulin use and insulin costs, according to new research by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine published in BMC Nutrition.
 
 
 Belzutifan demonstrates strong clinical activity in two rare neuroendocrine tumors
 
Belzutifan demonstrates strong clinical activity in two rare neuroendocrine tumorsA multicenter Phase II clinical trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center demonstrated significant tumor shrinkage and disease control in patients with advanced pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL), two rare and potentially life-threatening neuroendocrine tumors.
 
 
 European societies launch EndoCompass to guide the future of endocrine research
 
European societies launch EndoCompass to guide the future of endocrine researchThe European Society for Endocrinology (ESE) and the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) have released today, 17 October 2025, the EndoCompass Research Roadmap: Directions for the Future of Endocrine Science.
 
 
 Home blood tests could spot early heart risks in young adults
 
Home blood tests could spot early heart risks in young adultsSelf-administered dried blood spot kits show potential for cardiometabolic screening in young adults, but success relied heavily on clear guidance and researcher support. High rates of at-risk biomarkers highlight an urgent need for early prevention in this population.
 
 
 Building muscle shown to protect against obesity-related organ damage
 
Building muscle shown to protect against obesity-related organ damagePeople with excess body fat who build and keep muscle may be less likely to develop obesity-induced heart, liver, or kidney damage or die early, according to a new study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
 
 
 Physical activity linked to higher overnight glucose in pregnancy hyperglycemia
 
Physical activity linked to higher overnight glucose in pregnancy hyperglycemiaResearch shows that more daytime movement in pregnant women with hyperglycemia can raise nighttime blood sugar, highlighting the need for further investigation.
