Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation have developed a novel nanoparticle-based therapy for obesity treatment, as reported in a recent study published in ACS Nano. The innovative approach targets ...
The prevalence of obesity worldwide has led to an increase in the risk of metabolic diseases and socio-economical burdens. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been established as a promising therapeutic target to overcome obesity, ...
"Who are we and where do we come from?" This quintessential question has intrigued humanity for millennia. Currently, the "Out-of-Africa (OOA) theory" is prevailingly accepted regarding the origin of modern humans, as a line ...
If there's one thing I've learned about dogs, it's that praise is super-effective for training; a new Hungarian study confirms these anecdotal findings and reinforces that notion that praise is more effective as a pedagogical ...
Around 100 million years ago, a remarkable evolutionary shift allowed placental mammals to diversify and conquer many cold regions of our planet. New research from Stockholm University shows that the typical mammalian heater ...
Mitochondria, organelles with an inner and outer membrane, are responsible for creating the energy that cells use to survive, and their morphology is key to accomplishing this task. The inner mitochondrial membrane contains ...
Zebrafish are smaller than your little finger, with a brain no more than half the size of a pinhead. Yet these animals possess an efficient navigation system that enables them to find their way back to spots in the water ...
Throughout the history of RNA research, one can immediately notice a significant breakthrough during 2007 and 2008, in which several groups independently reported the discovery of intact noncoding RNA (ncRNA) sequences in ...
A research team from LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) has developed thyroid hormone (TH)–encapsulated nanoparticles modified with an adipose-homing peptide, which selectively transports TH to ...
"Metabolism" describes the body's chemical changes that create the necessary materials for growth and overall health. Metabolites are the substances made and used during these metabolic processes—or, as a new discovery ...
