  • Insensitivity to insulin, also called insulin resistance, is associated with type 2 diabetes and affects several cell types and organs in the body. Now, scientists from Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet have discovered a mechanism that explains how insulin-producing cells can be insulin resistant and insulin sensitive at the same time. The findings are being published in the journal Cell Reports, and may lead to future novel treatment strategies for type 2 diabetes.

  • Food craving may be 'hard-wired' in the brain of overweight patients, say scientists who found that obesity is associated with neural changes similar to those found in substance addiction.

  • A new group of antibiotics that may provide relief to people affected by antibiotic resistance, has been developed by a team of researchers from Virginia Institute of Technology. These new antibiotics can successfully target the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (staph) and the antibiotic-resistant strains commonly known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The paper was published in Medicinal Chemistry Communications.

  • Scientists from University of Iowa found two natural compounds one found in apples and one in green tomatoes, which reduce the protein's activity in aged muscle. The protein called ATF4 alters gene expression in skeletal muscle, causing reduction of muscle protein synthesis, strength and mass.

  • Body maps develop early in life and may be integral for fostering infants' sense of their own bodies, as well as the ability to connect with and learn from other people, new research has found. Researchers at the University of Washington's Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences (I-LABS) are among the first scientists worldwide to study body maps in the infant brain.
