MIT Technology Review explores the race to develop 'exercise in a pill' drugs that mimic some benefits of physical activity for people with frailty, disability, or chronic illness, highlighting research on receptor-activating compounds and AMPK pathway drugs now entering human trials.
MIT researchers found that while a ketogenic diet suppresses colon tumors, it may increase small-intestinal cancer risk by driving fatty acid oxidation that fuels stem-cell proliferation, and that ketone bodies like BHB are merely "metabolic bystanders."
The Verge's Victoria Song spends 100 days using Twin Health's AI-powered digital twin, which learns from her metabolic, glucose, and body-composition data to give color-coded food and lifestyle recommendations — a low-stakes early look at personalized medicine via digital twins.
弗吉尼亚理工大学研究人员在 Nature Metabolism 发表研究发现，营养成分完全匹配的高度加工与最低加工餐食会引起不同的代谢和大脑奖赏区域反应，高度加工食品会导致更多胰岛素分泌并改变脑部活动。
The Arc Institute hosted its 3rd Annual Investigator Retreat, featuring talks on genome engineering, generative protein models, computational biology, and deep dives into neurodegeneration, immunology, and metabolism.
A new paper from Arc Institute researchers shows that breathing low-oxygen air nearly triples lifespan in a mouse model of HTRA2 deficiency, offering a potential treatment for mitochondrial disease.
Researchers found that sterilized soil continues to consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide for years, suggesting metabolic-like reactions can occur outside living cells. The finding, published in Science Advances, may imply that some biochemical processes predate life on Earth.
New research published in Nature reveals that bird retinas survive without oxygen by using anaerobic glycolysis, solving a long-standing paradox of how one of the most metabolically active tissues functions without blood perfusion.
The article explains the biochemical mechanism of GLP-1 agonists, including the new drug retatrutide, and how they regulate appetite and energy metabolism by mimicking natural hormones.
