Levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood are as good a predictor of mortality from any cause as smoking, according to a study involving the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (IMIM), in...
Researchers develop tool to drastically speed up the study of enzymes — ScienceDaily
For much of human history, animals and plants were perceived to follow a different set of rules than the rest of the universe. In the 18th and 19th centuries, this culminated in a belief...
AI built to find anti-aging chemical compounds — ScienceDaily
The University of Surrey has built an artificial intelligence (AI) model that identifies chemical compounds that promote healthy ageing -- paving the way towards pharmaceutical innovations that extend a person's lifespan.

Harnessing the combined power of Vitamin C and TET proteins may give scientists a...
You can't make a banana split without bananas. And you can't generate stable regulatory T cells without Vitamin C or enzymes called TET proteins, it appears.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) help control inflammation and autoimmunity...
Championing chrononutrition with protein, the morning elixir for muscle growth — ScienceDaily
Proteins constitute an essential dietary component that help in the growth and repair of the body. Composed of long chains of amino acids, proteins promote the growth of skeletal muscles, the group of muscles...
Single cancer cells have different appetites for fatty acids — ScienceDaily
A new method developed by Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) and University of California, Riverside provides new insights into cancer biology by allowing researchers to show how fatty acids are absorbed by single cells.
Fatty...
An ‘ace in the hole’ against SARS-CoV-2 infection — ScienceDaily
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, is highly transmissible, with nasal passages being the target of original infection. The nasal passage also shows the highest expression of ACE2, a protein that has...
Study in middle- to older-aged adults suggests whole grains may protect against heart disease...
Middle- to older-aged adults who ate at least three servings of whole grains daily had smaller increases in waist size, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels over time compared to those who ate less...
