Pancreatic vagus nerve stimulation boosts insulin production in mice
Insulin is a hormone that decreases blood glucose levels. The only cells that produce insulin are pancreatic beta cells (β-cells), and a decrease in these cells is a major cause…
New insights into the interplay between prions and TDP-43 in neurodegenerative pathology
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the deposition of clumped proteins in the brain and progressive neuronal cell death.
Study links brisk walking to lower type 2 diabetes risk
A recent study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine reveals that brisk walking significantly reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. The systematic review and meta-analysis found that every…

Overweight people may have impaired antibody response to COVID-19 infection
University of Queensland-led research shows being overweight can impair the body's antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 infection but not to the protection offered by vaccination.
Lightweight helmet with tiny sensors records magnetic fields generated by brain activity
A man walking around a room wearing a helmet that records his brain function would have seemed like science fiction five years ago.
LysoPI lipids show promise in boosting insulin secretion in diabetics
While sugar is the most frequently named culprit in the development of type 2 diabetes, a better understanding of the role of fats is also essential.
