How the hormone FGF21 can reverse fatty liver disease

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

A pioneering research study published today in Cell Metabolism details how the hormone FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21) can reverse the effects of fatty liver disease in mice. The hormone works primarily by signaling the brain to improve liver function.

Hormone cycles shape the structure and function of key memory regions in the brain, researchers find

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior of our neurons and cognitive processes.

Traditional Chinese medicine formula shows promise for myasthenia gravis treatment

Teenagers in rural and regional areas may not be receiving the level of contraceptive support they need, according to GPs interviewed in a new study from Monash University’s SPHERE Center of Research Excellence.

Molecule reverses cognitive deficits associated with aging and dementia in animal tests

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

In Brazil, researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and collaborators from the University of São Paulo (USP) have discovered that a molecule called Hevin can reverse cognitive impairment. The study, conducted in mice, showed that this glycoprotein produced by brain cells (astrocytes) is able to increase the connections between neurons (synapses) in aged rodents and in animal models of Alzheimer’s disease.

GLP-1 drugs are helpful for children who are living with severe obesity, research finds

Children who are living with severe obesity are more likely to experience a clinically relevant change in BMI when GLP-1 agonist drugs form part of their treatment, new research being presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2025) suggests.

Wireless device enables precise activation of light-sensitive pain drugs in animal study

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Photoactivable drugs are activated when irradiated by a beam of light—via an optical fiber—thus generating a controlled and local therapeutic effect on target tissues. Now, a scientific team has pioneered a new breakthrough in the field of photopharmacology with the design of the first wireless device capable of remotely activating a photoactivable drug and causing it to have therapeutic effects on specific organs.

Brain’s ‘waste disposal network’ is shaped by neural activity, study finds

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Over the past decade, intensive studies have shown that the brain’s meningeal lymphatic system acts as the brain’s “waste disposal network,” maintaining homeostasis by clearing metabolic waste and transporting immune cells. However, the mechanism underlying its developmental regulation remains unknown. How does this intricate system form, and which cells or signals govern its specific spatial arrangement in the meninges?
