SRC-2 is at the center of survival adaptations to food shortages
When fasting or facing a food shortage, the body engages metabolic and behavioral adaptations to survive. How the brain coordinates and regulates these responses has not been clear, but researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions have discovered that a molecule known as steroid receptor coactivator-2 (SRC-2) is crucial to coordinate the biological […]
Researchers shrink camera to the size of a salt grain
Micro-sized cameras have great potential to spot problems in the human body and enable sensing for super-small robots, but past approaches captured fuzzy, distorted images with limited fields of view. Now, researchers at Princeton University and the University of Washington have overcome these obstacles with an ultracompact camera the size of a coarse grain of […]

MIND diet linked to better cognitive performance: Study finds diet may contribute to cognitive resilience in the elderly
Aging takes a toll on the body and on the mind. For example, the tissue of aging human brains sometimes develops abnormal clumps of proteins that are the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. How can you protect your brain from these effects? Researchers at Rush University Medical Center have found that older adults may benefit from […]

Study finds body mass index for children greatest in Midwest, least in West
A study examining the body mass index (BMI) of over 14,000 children from birth to age 15 shows those in the Midwest have the highest BMI levels while kids in the West have the lowest, suggesting regional influences may play a role in the development of childhood obesity. The study, published today in the journal […]
Single- or Multi-Fraction SABR for Lung Oligometastases?
Both single-fraction and multifraction stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) had acceptable safety and comparable efficacy for patients with pulmonary oligometastases, according to results from a phase II randomized trial. The primary endpoint of grade 3 or higher adverse events (AEs) related to treatment within 1 year of SABR was similar between the single-fraction arm (5%) […]
‘Where does it hurt?’ predicts chronic pain outcomes, study shows
Pain distribution as reported on a body map, on its own, can be used to assign patients to distinct subgroups that are associated with differences in pain intensity, pain quality, pain impact and clinically-relevant three-month outcomes, according to a new study published this week in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Benedict Alter of University […]
Championing chrononutrition with protein, the morning elixir for muscle growth
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 that help us move. Humans have been aware of the benefits of proteins for long. However, recent studies have shown that […]
