Published Protecting brain cells with cannabinol (via sciencedaily.com)
Scientists created four cannabis-derived CBN analogs (chemical look-a-likes) with enhanced neuroprotective properties and potential for therapeutic application in neurological disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and traumatic brain injury. Their findings reveal novel aspects of CBN's neuroprotective activity and demonstrate the clinical potential of CBN and value of studying its analogs.
Published Research explores how a father's diet could shape the health of his offspring (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
A mice study suggests a father's diet may shape the anxiety of his sons and the metabolic health of his daughters before they are even conceived.
Published Following cellular lineage (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
Researchers have advanced the understanding of how the cerebral cortex develops by tracing the lineage of certain brain cells.
Published Common HIV treatments may aid Alzheimer's disease patients (via sciencedaily.com)
Scientists have identified promising real-world links between common HIV drugs and a reduced incidence of Alzheimer's disease.
Published New Inflammatory Bowel Disease testing protocol could speed up diagnosis (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
Patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) could benefit from better testing protocols that would reduce the need and lengthy wait for potentially unnecessary colonoscopies, a new study has found.
Published Teen stress may raise risk of postpartum depression in adults (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
A research team reports that social stress during adolescence in female mice later results in prolonged elevation of the hormone cortisol after they give birth.
Published Scientists identify cell vulnerability 'fingerprint' related to Parkinson's, Lewy body dementia (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
A new study offers a first look into the complex molecular changes that occur in brain cells with Lewy bodies, which are key pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease and some dementias. The findings reveal that brain cells with Lewy bodies exhibit a specific gene expression pattern akin to a disease-related fingerprint.
Published Take it from the rats: A junk food diet can cause long-term damage to adolescent brains (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
A study on the effects of a junk food diet on rats reinforces scientific understanding about the gut-brain connection.
Published Family and media pressure to lose weight in adolescence linked to how people value themselves almost two decades later (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
People who as teenagers felt pressure to lose weight from family or from the media, females, people who are not heterosexual, and people experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage, are most at risk of 'internalized' weight stigma, new research has found.
Published AI enhances physician-patient communication (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
A study shows that AI enhances physician-patient communication.
Published Microplastics make their way from the gut to other organs (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
Researchers have found that microplastics -- are having a significant impact on our digestive pathways, making their way from the gut and into the tissues of the kidney, liver and brain.
Published Epilepsy drug prevents brain tumors in mice with NF1 (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
Researchers have discovered that an FDA-approved epilepsy drug can prevent or slow the growth of NF1-linked optic gliomas in mice, laying the groundwork for a clinical trial.
Published Physical activity reduces stress-related brain activity to lower cardiovascular disease risk (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
Over a ten-year period, biobank participants who met recommended levels of physical activity had a 23% lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and the protective effects were even more pronounced in individuals with depression.
Published Specific nasal cells protect against COVID-19 in children (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
Important differences in how the nasal cells of young and elderly people respond to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, could explain why children typically experience milder COVID-19 symptoms, a new study finds.
Published Human muscle map reveals how we try to fight effects of aging (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
The first comprehensive cell atlas of aging human muscle reveals the intricate genetic and cellular processes behind muscle deterioration and mechanisms to counteract it.
Published New study sheds light on the mechanisms underlying the development of malignant pediatric brain tumors (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
A new study revealed how aberrant epigenetic regulation contributes to the development of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid (AT/RT) tumors, which are aggressive brain tumors that mainly affect young children. There is an urgent need for more research in this area as current treatment options are ineffective against these highly malignant tumors.
Published Carbon beads help restore healthy gut microbiome and reduce liver disease progression (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
Innovative carbon beads reduce bad bacteria and inflammation in animal models, which are linked to liver cirrhosis and other serious health issues.
Published A third of women experience migraines associated with menstruation, most commonly when premenopausal (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
A third of the nearly 20 million women who participated in a national health survey reports migraines during menstruation, and of them, 11.8 million, or 52.5%, were premenopausal.
Published Scientists uncover a missing link between poor diet and higher cancer risk (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
A research team has unearthed new findings which may help explain the connection between cancer risk and poor diet, as well as common diseases like diabetes, which arise from poor diet. The insights gained from this study hold promise for advancing cancer prevention strategies aimed at promoting healthy aging.
Published PFAS exposure from high seafood diets may be underestimated (via sciencedaily.com) Original source
A study suggests that people with diets high in seafood may face a greater risk of exposure to PFAS -- the family of human-made toxins known as 'forever chemicals' -- than previously thought. The researchers stress the need for more stringent public health guidelines that establish how much seafood people can safely consume to limit their exposure, particularly in coastal areas where seafood is frequently eaten.
