Intermittent Fasting Could Improve Dysfunctional Metabolism

New research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine suggests that intermittent fasting may improve blood sugar regulation and metabolic function. The randomized controlled trial included 108 participants who had metabolic syndrome, defined as elevated fasting glucose or HbA1c, at the start of the study ...

"Weekend Warrior" Exercise Protects Against Disease

A new study published in the journal Circulation has shown that a “weekend warrior” schedule of physical activity, in which most exercise during the week is compressed into two days, is associated with a lower risk of over 200 diseases compared to inactivity. The prospective cohort study used data ...

Metal exposure linked to increased risk of coronary disease

A study published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology by McGraw et al. offers compelling evidence that underscores the significant role environmental pollutants, particularly heavy metals, play in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and other health outcomes. This research, focusing on the exposure to metals ...

Blocking Blood Sugar Hormone May Treat Heart Failure

A new study found that blocking the activity of the blood sugar regulating hormone, glucagon, improves heart function in mouse models of heart failure. The findings may pave the way to one of the first effective treatments for the challenging condition. The corresponding study was published in Circulation ...

Unveiling the Antibody Reactome: A New Frontier in Precision Immunology

WATCH ON-DEMAND

Joel Credle, PhD - Co-founder and Director of Research and Development, Infinity Bio

The human antibody repertoire, or reactome, is a vast and dynamic network of antibody-antigen interactions that plays a crucial role in health and disease. Understanding the complexity of this network is key to unlocking novel understanding of disease etiologies, new diagnostics, therapeutics, and personalized medicine approaches. In this webinar, Infinity Bio will showcase its cutting-edge ...

Advances in spatial biology enable scientists to visualize multiplexed biomolecules across multiple 'omics technologies at single-cell resolution. However, all of these technologies require significant manual sample preparation, which has created a bottleneck in specimen-to-data workflows, limiting the promise of biomarker-driven therapy development. In the first half of the ...

Connecting the dynamics of antimicrobial response across scales

WATCH ON-DEMAND

Somenath Bakshi, PhD - Associate Professor, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge

The cellular physiology of microbes can vary significantly within a population, even when exposed to identical external conditions. Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that this diversity is crucial for population fitness and evolution. Our research focuses on understanding how this physiological heterogeneity impacts the response to antimicrobials at the cellular level and ...
