Melbourne [Australia], July 30 (ANI): During a recent study, researchers found a gene that enhances muscular strength when activated by physical activity. This can open the door for the creation of therapeutic therapies that mirror some of the advantages of exercise.
Washington [US], July 1 (ANI): Even before carbohydrates reach the bloodstream, the very sight and smell of a meal trigger the release of insulin. For the first time, researchers have shown that this insulin release depends on a short-term inflammatory response that takes place in these circumstances. In overweight individuals, however, this inflammatory response is so excessive that it can impair insulin secretion.

Daejeon [South Korea], June 22 (ANI): The number of elderly people suffering from Alzheimer's disease has increased rapidly in recent decades. For a long time, scientists believed that misfolded aggregates of amyloid-beta protein accumulated and formed plaques in the brain, leading to memory loss and nerve cell death. However, recent clinical trial failures indicate an urgent need to understand the missing link between amyloid-beta protein plaques and disease symptoms.
