Hormonal changes during menopause are directly related to decline in cardiovascular health — ScienceDaily
Levels of bad cholesterol rise during menopause, and 10% of this increase is due to shifts in sex hormones. That's the finding of research published today in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a...
Fewer cases of melanoma among people taking vitamin D supplements — ScienceDaily
Fewer cases of melanoma were observed among regular users of vitamin D supplements than among non-users, a new study finds. People taking vitamin D supplements regularly also had a considerably lower risk of skin...
Structure of an enzyme crucial for tRNA maturation sheds light on cause of neurodegenerative...
Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are among the most common types of RNA in a cell and are indispensable for protein production in all known organisms. They have an important "translation" function: They determine how the...
LED-based UV irradiation safely prevents the loss of bone and muscle mass in mice...
A research team at Nagoya University in Japan has revealed that narrow-range ultraviolet (UV) irradiation using light emitting diodes (LEDs) safely increases serum vitamin D levels in aging mice and thereby prevents the loss...
Natural language model jumpstarts protein design with creation of active enzymes — ScienceDaily
Scientists have created an AI system capable of generating artificial enzymes from scratch. In laboratory tests, some of these enzymes worked as well as those found in nature, even when their artificially generated amino...
Cancers in distant organs alter liver function — ScienceDaily
Cancers often release molecules into the bloodstream that pathologically alter the liver, shifting it to an inflammatory state, causing fat buildup and impairing its normal detoxifying functions, according to a study from investigators at...

‘Trojan horse’ approach to kill cancer cells without using drugs — ScienceDaily
Cancer cells are killed in lab experiments and tumour growth reduced in mice, using a new approach that turns a nanoparticle into a 'Trojan horse' that causes cancer cells to self-destruct, a research team...
Healthy diet before, during pregnancy linked to lower complications — ScienceDaily
A healthy diet around the time of conception through the second trimester may reduce the risk of several common pregnancy complications, suggests a study by researchers at the National Institutes of Health. Expectant women...
