  • Scientists find brain cell switch that could reverse obesity’s effects

    Scientists find brain cell switch that could reverse obesity’s effects

    Fatty diets and obesity affect the structure and function of astrocytes1, the star-shaped brain cells located in the striatum, a brain region involved in the perception of pleasure generated by food consumption. What is even more surprising is that by manipulating these astrocytes in vivo in mice can…

  • How flossing a mouse’s teeth could lead to a new kind of vaccine

    How flossing a mouse’s teeth could lead to a new kind of vaccine

    Bioengineer Rohan Ingrole needed to floss a mouse’s teeth.

    The intent wasn’t to help mice get a clean bill of health at the dentist. Each bit of store-bought floss was coated with dead influenza viruses, or lab-made bits and pieces of them. Ingrole, of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, wanted to vaccinate the animals, giving them protection against flu through their gums. 

    Vaccines that target the moist tissues that line cavities like the mouth or nose aim to build up…

  • Scientists discover amino acid switch that turns fat into a calorie-burning furnace

    Scientists discover amino acid switch that turns fat into a calorie-burning furnace

    Consuming fewer calories is largely accepted as a way to improve health and lose weight, but a recently published study in Nature Metabolism points to a specific sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine as a key component in weight loss. In the study “Cysteine depletion triggers adipose tissue thermogenesis and weight loss,” researchers discovered that when study participants restricted their calorie intake, it resulted in reduced levels of cysteine in white fat.

  • Scientists crack the mystery of brain cell clumps, and make them vanish

    Scientists crack the mystery of brain cell clumps, and make them vanish

    Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together.

    These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up surrounding proteins key for brain health, contributing to neurological disorders.

    How these harmful RNA clusters form in the first place has remained an open question.

    Now, University at Buffalo researchers have not only uncovered that tiny droplets of protein and nucleic acids in cells contribute to…

  • New “evolution engine” creates super-proteins 100,000x faster

    New “evolution engine” creates super-proteins 100,000x faster

    In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have developed a synthetic biology platform that accelerates evolution itself — enabling researchers to evolve proteins with useful, new properties thousands of times faster than nature. The system, named T7-ORACLE, was described in Science on August 7, 2025, and represents a breakthrough in how…

  • Breakthrough “smart” gel restores blood flow and heals diabetic wounds in days

    Breakthrough “smart” gel restores blood flow and heals diabetic wounds in days

    Chronic diabetic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, are a significant burden for patients, as impaired blood vessel growth hinders the healing process. A recent breakthrough offers hope by combining small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) loaded with miR-221-3p and a GelMA hydrogel to target thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), a protein that suppresses angiogenesis. This new bioactive wound dressing not only accelerates healing but also promotes blood vessel formation, offering a promising new…

  • What really happens to your body when you stop weight loss drugs like Ozempic

    What really happens to your body when you stop weight loss drugs like Ozempic

    Patients prescribed drugs to help them lose weight may experience a rebound in weight gain after halting their prescription, finds a meta-analysis published in BMC Medicine. The study, which analyses data for patients receiving weight loss drugs across 11 randomised trials, suggests that while the amount of weight regain varies depending on the specific drug, there is a broad trend in associated weight regain after the course of medication concluded.

    Six anti-obesity medications (AOMs) have…
