Scientists found dragonflies see deep red light like humans do, opening doors for new light-based therapies that work inside the body.
New AI-discovered peptide mimics Ozempic's weight loss effects but targets only the brain's appetite center, avoiding nausea and muscle loss.
Most genetic variants explain only a few percent of nutritional differences between people, yet companies market expensive personalized plans.
Beyond calories and vitamins lies a vast world of unmapped food chemicals that may quietly drive disease risk and healthy aging.
Experts say the next era of obesity care pairs GLP-1 medications with precision medicine, endoscopic procedures, and surgery for lasting results.
A newly identified trigger in brown fat activates a hidden calorie-burning pathway and may unlock new treatments for bone disease.
New research reveals genetic 'GLP-1 resistance' affects 1 in 10 people, explaining why popular diabetes and weight-loss drugs fail for some patients.
Scientists mapped a two-pathway gut-brain alarm that shifts appetite from sugar to protein when essential amino acids drop.
A novel β2 agonist pill boosts fat burning via skeletal muscle, preserving muscle mass while improving blood sugar in early trials.
Scientists identify a new type of stem cell that activates with aging and supercharges belly fat production, opening anti-obesity targets.
Stanford researchers found genetic variants in ~10% of people that blunt GLP-1 drug effectiveness, pointing toward precision diabetes care.
A key fat metabolism protein works inside cell nuclei to keep fat tissue healthy — its absence causes fat loss, not gain.
New research reveals how hormone FGF21 activates brain circuits to boost metabolism and reverse obesity, offering alternative to GLP-1 drugs.
New research reveals GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic deliver stronger results for 'see-food' eaters than those who eat due to stress or emotions.
A liver-destroying tapeworm linked to cancer-like cysts has reached the Pacific Northwest, found in one-third of surveyed coyotes near Puget Sound.
A protein thought only to burn fat secretly protects fat cell health from inside the nucleus, reshaping obesity and metabolic disease research.
A proteomics study tracking 3,000 blood proteins reveals fasting's deepest benefits emerge only after 72 hours without food.
Genetic testing for health risks has a 40% false-positive rate and often outperformed by lifestyle factors. Here's what the evidence shows.
Japanese scientists engineered hybrid vitamin K molecules that are 3x more potent at regrowing neurons, potentially transforming Alzheimer's treatment.
UCLA researchers eliminated senescent immune cells in mice, dramatically reversing liver damage even without diet changes.
