A hidden mechanism in MS may be damaging neurons at their genetic core, offering a potential new way to slow the disease. For many years, research on multiple sclerosis (MS) has centered on myelin, the protective coating around the brain’s nerve fibers. At the same time, another form of damage has received far less attention. […]

Researchers are exploring an unconventional cancer treatment that uses engineered bacteria to target the unique, oxygen-free environments inside tumors. A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a new way to treat cancer by engineering bacteria that can consume tumors from the inside. “Bacteria spores enter the tumor, finding an environment where […]

Repeated cycles of weight loss and regain may leave behind lasting metabolic benefits. A new study from researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev suggests that the much-criticized cycle of “yo-yo dieting” may not be as harmful as once thought. In fact, repeated attempts at weight loss could leave behind lasting improvements in metabolic health, […]

Early diet may leave hidden, long-term imprints on the brain’s control of eating. Eating unhealthy foods early in life can lead to lasting changes in the brain and eating behavior, but gut bacteria may help restore healthier patterns, according to a new study from University College Cork (UCC). Researchers at APC Microbiome, a leading institute […]

A newly identified molecular mechanism reveals how neurons weigh survival against repair after injury. Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a molecular switch in neurons that limits the regrowth of damaged axons. Their study, published in Nature, suggests that blocking a protein known as the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) […]
