The hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is considered obesogenic. In contrast, GIP receptor agonists (GIPRAs) have shown reduced feeding and body weight in an obese mouse model. Therefore, the precise effects exerted by GIP and GIPRAs remain elusive.

A type of immune therapy called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of multiple types of blood cancers but has shown limited efficacy against glioblastoma-;the deadliest type of primary brain cancer-;and other solid tumors.

Surprisingly, bitter taste receptors are not only located in the mouth, but also elsewhere in the body, including the airways.

Patients with 'blinding' headaches known as Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension could be treated with an injectable peptide used for type 2 diabetes, a new trial has found.

In a recent study published in the Nature journal, researchers assessed the role of the airway-to-brain sensory pathways in influenza-induced illness.

A new study examined the associations between leukotriene-receptor antagonists (LTRAs) use in pregnancy and neuropsychiatric events (NEs) risk in the offspring.

Sex differences exist in the regulation of energy homeostasis, the organism's mechanism to keep a stable body weight. Current studies indicate for instance that female mammals, including humans, are better protected against metabolic diseases during reproductive age.

Researchers from Belgium conduct SARS-CoV-2 surveillance among all mammal species found in two zoos.

A recent study discusses the processes and changes in the brain that arise while fighting and watching intense fights.

How estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer responds to hormone therapy may hold keys to understanding how it will respond to radiation therapy, and an experimental drug that increases the effectiveness of hormone therapy also overcomes radiation resistance in breast cancer, a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows.
