According to a nationwide birth cohort study published in the European Journal of Nutrition, higher maternal fish intake before pregnancy links to a lower risk of early-onset hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, while consuming fish during pregnancy associates with a reduced risk of late-onset cases among first-time mothers. Researchers tracking dietary patterns across more than 86,000 … Read more
Scorpion venom peptides are emerging as targeted drug candidates for inflammatory pathways and hepatitis viruses, according to a recent review published in the journal iLIVER. Researchers summarized how these molecules, sourced from over 2,700 documented scorpion species, target receptor proteins and voltage-gated ion channels to treat chronic inflammatory and hepatic disorders without the broad toxicity … Read more
According to a narrative review published in the journal Nutrients by researchers in Australia and Croatia, the long-debated J-shaped association between moderate wine consumption and lower all-cause mortality remains biologically plausible, though methodological differences heavily shape contemporary public health guidelines. Stockley, Arthur C. Ellison, and Mirela Boban synthesized studies published primarily between 1980 and March … Read more
Researchers at Trinity College Dublin and St. James’s Hospital have demonstrated that dexamethasone, a commonly prescribed anti-inflammatory steroid, reduces harmful inflammation triggered by Mycobacterium avium without weakening the ability of human immune cells to control the infection, according to a study published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. Understanding Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease and Treatment Challenges … Read more
Obesity May Fuel Leukemia Growth, Study Reveals Obesity may act as a catalyst for leukemia progression, according to a study led by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers. Published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, the findings suggest that chronic inflammation linked to obesity creates an environment where leukemia cells thrive. The work, conducted by … Read more
Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) have identified a potential new pathway to protect neurons from Parkinson’s disease by targeting neuroinflammation rather than dopamine replacement. Published in the journal Neuropharmacology, the study shows that the peptide Ac2-26, derived from the protein Annexin A1, reduces neuronal degeneration in mice by mitigating the inflammatory … Read more
The Unexpected Benefit of Aspirin: Unmasking Silent Bladder Cancer For millions of people, a daily low-dose aspirin is a cornerstone of heart health, primarily used to prevent blood clots. However, new research published in the Journal of Internal Medicine suggests this common medication might be performing a hidden, life-saving service: acting as an early warning … Read more
Beyond the Plate: The Future of Fighting Fatty Liver with Precision Nutrition For decades, the medical advice for fatty liver disease was simple, if frustrating: “lose weight and eat better.” But as we move deeper into the era of personalized medicine, we are discovering that the fight against Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is … Read more
The Future of IBD Treatment: Harnessing the Power of EV-RNAs Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), encompassing Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, affects millions worldwide and is projected to impact over 1% of the population in early-industrialized countries by 2045. A recent comprehensive review published in ExRNA, led by researchers at Sir Run-Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University … Read more
