Nutrient found in beef and dairy improves anti-tumor immunity
Trans-vaccenic acid (TVA), a fatty acid found in beef, lamb, and dairy products, improves anti-tumor immunity. …
Trigonelline derived from coffee improves cognitive functions
New findings highlight the potential of the natural compound trigonelline in alleviating age-related memory and spatial learning impairment. …
Molecule reduces inflammation in Alzheimer’s models
Preclinical study describes a candidate drug that in human cell cultures and Alzheimer’s mouse models reduced inflammation and improved memory. …
Intermittent fasting improves Alzheimer’s disease pathology
A new study has shown that in mice it is possible to correct circadian disruptions seen in Alzheimer’s disease with time-restricted feeding, a type of intermittent fasting focused on limiting the daily eating window without limiting the amount of food consumed. …
Severe COVID-19 may lead to long-term innate immune system changes
New research finds severe COVID-19 may cause long-lasting alterations to the innate immune system, the first line of defense against pathogens, underscoring the importance of vaccinations. …
Oncolytic virus ‘warms up’ cold tumors and improves immunotherapy
Equipping oncolytic viruses with tumor-inhibiting genetic cargo stimulates the immune system and helps immunotherapy shrink or completely clear aggressive tumors in mice. …
Researchers develop gut-restricted drug to treat inflammatory bowel disease
An experimental drug that inhibits a gut enzyme protects mice from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) symptoms and preserves barrier function in intestinal “organoids” derived from IBD patients. …
New therapies to reverse genetic defects underlying familial heart disease
Researchers have made new strides into understanding and reversing genetic defects that underlie familial heart disease. …
Muscle-building supplement may help stave off Alzheimer’s
A muscle-building supplement called beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) may help protect memory, reduce amyloid plaques, and help prevent Alzheimer’s disease progression. …
A potential new biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease
Proteomics analysis of mouse brain regions reveals a candidate diagnostic biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease. …
