Investigators suggest using other TKIs in patients with preexisting diabetes and hyperlipidemia.

Study investigators offered updated data from 2 key trials presented in the past year: CLEAR Outcomes in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and OCEAN(a)-DOSE in lipoprotein (a).

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have found that the skin bacterium Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) plays a significant role in the production of lipids that maintain the skin barrier.

Metformin, the most commonly used drug to treat type 2 diabetes, not only lowers blood sugar levels but has revealed to extend lifespan in C. Elegans -- an animal model that shares similar metabolic systems with humans and are often used to model human diseases.

A new powerful antibiotic, isolated from bacteria that could not be studied before, seems capable to combat harmful bacteria and even multi-resistant 'superbugs'.

The findings are completely novel and may make people think differently about triglycerides and CV risk, said a researcher based on a preliminary study.

The role of Cutibacterium acnes in improving the skin's barrier function.

Nanovesicles can be bioengineered to target cancer cells and deliver treatments directly, according to research at Binghamton University, State University of New York.

"I would encourage someone hoping to lose weight to try intermittent fasting instead of water fasting, because theres a lot more data to show it can help with weight management," says a study author.

Researchers presented a scalable lipid nanoparticle production (SCALAR) platform to develop SARS-CoV-2 mRNA lipid nanoparticle vaccines.
