- Acid reducing medicines from the group of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are best-selling drugs that prevent and alleviate stomach problems. PPIs are activated in the acid-producing cells of the stomach, where they block acid production. Researchers made the surprising discovery that zinc-carrying proteins, which are found in all cells, can also activate PPIs — without […]
- Cancer cells work together to source nutrients from their environment — a cooperative process that was previously overlooked by scientists but may be a promising target for treating cancer.
- Meeting the minimum requirement for vitamin B12, needed to make DNA, red blood cells and nerve tissue, may not actually be enough — particularly if you are older. It may even put you at risk for cognitive impairment.
- New research could transform how broken bones are treated, with the development of a special zinc-based dissolvable material that could replace the metal plates and screws typically used to hold fractured bones together.
- Microbiome as a potential key to better treatment: Clinical study on new therapy for Crohn's diseaseA special liquid diet, known as exclusive enteral nutrition, is an essential therapy for Crohn's disease. Patients consume only this formula for six to eight weeks, completely avoiding solid foods. However, the exact reasons why this is helpful were previously unclear. Researchers have now been able to decipher the mechanism behind this dietary therapy.
- Fish is a high-quality source of protein, containing omega-3 fatty acids and many other beneficial nutrients. However, the accumulation of toxic mercury also makes fish consumption a concern, of which tuna is particularly susceptible. Researchers have now come up with a novel approach to packaging canned tuna infused in the water-based solution of amino acid […]
- Drinking ketones improves heart health, a new small-scale study has found.
- A daily intake of one gram of omega-3s can slow down biological aging by up to four months, according to an analysis of clinical data from the international DO-HEALTH study. For the first time, epigenetic clocks were used to measure the aging process.
