In a new animal study published in the journal Cell Metabolism, scientists found that adding a precise amount of a single amino acid to a low-protein,...
Copper diacetyl bis(4-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazone), or Cu(ATSM), restored a key waste-removal system in the brain, reducing toxic amyloid-beta buildup and...
In a mouse study conducted by scientists at the Dasman Diabetes Institute in Kuwait, rodents fed a sucrose-free diet developed insulin resistance, gut...
An analysis of 27 animal studies found that switching to a healthier diet improved memory performance, though the effects were far weaker after diets high...
By mapping millions of smell-sensing neurons in mice, scientists discovered precise striped patterns inside the nose, overturning decades-old assumptions...
Researchers in Japan say S-1-propenyl-L-cysteine, a molecule found in aged garlic extract, restored strength and reduced frailty in older mice by activating...
Compared to other primates, humans have remarkably large brains relative to their body sizes. The resultant high demands for glucose may have been supported...
