Just as advanced mammalian brains require a robust neural network to achieve richer and more complex thought, large cities require advanced highways and…
Low sodium diets are generally regarded as tasteless, and Japanese consumers find it difficult to reduce their salt intake. The World Health Organization has…
Monolaurin has been recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is known for its antimicrobial properties. If used in combination…
When the leptin-serotonin pathway is turned on in mice, the researchers found, appetite increases, the animals eat more, gain weight, and their bone mass…
A Northwestern University study has found that eating at irregular times — the equivalent of the middle of the night for humans, when the body wants to sleep…
Deleting the gene, called IKKE, also appears to protect mice against conditions that, in humans, lead to Type 2 diabetes, which is associated with obesity and…
Killed or disabled viruses have proven safe and effective for vaccinating billions worldwide against smallpox, polio, measles, influenza and many other…
Scientists have deciphered a key molecular circuit that enables the body to distinguish viruses from bacteria and other microbes, providing a deep view of how…
