New method can help evaluate potential sight-preserving properties Scientists like the John A. Moran Eye Centers Paul S. Bernstein, MD, PhD, know a special class of lipids, or fatty acids, found in the retina of the eye and in just a few other parts of the body play an important role in maintaining vision. But its been difficult to study whether giving these lipids, called very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs), to patients as a supplement could prevent blinding eye diseases li...

Can metabolic biomarkers help clinicians stratify adverse outcome risk in COVID-19 patients? As hospitals in many countries are filling up with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, it has become a matter of great urgency to stratify the risk of critical disease and death in this group of patients. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is considered a respiratory virus but the acute illness it causes is not confined to the lungs. Rather, many terminally ill pa...

Newly discovered biochemical pathway can protect cells from ferroptosis The hallmarks of cancer include rapid cell-reproduction and metabolic activity. But these processes also lead to increased cellular stress and oxidation, and the risk of cell death. To circumvent these negative consequences of supercharged growth, cancer cells stimulate pathways to reduce oxidative stress and avoid cell death. In an article published in Cell Metabolism, Moffitt Cancer Center researchers report on a newly d...

Study reveals cardiac protein as a new target for different types of heart disease Like a failing fuel pump that causes a loss of engine power in a car, a diseased heart can take a serious toll on the bodys performance. For some patients, tasks like walking up a flight of stairs or walking across a room eventually turn into exhausting endeavors. This is because, over time, regardless of the underlying cause, heart damage typically progresses, owing to a constant barrage of oxidative stress and ...

Date Time How circadian clock regulates liver genes in time and space EPFL scientists have carried out the first comprehensive study of how genes in the liver perform their metabolic functions in both space and time of day. Monitoring almost 5000 genes at the level of the individual cell across a 24-hour period, the researchers have modelled how the circadian clock and liver functions crosstalk throughout the day in sync with the feeding-fasting cycle. Nothing in biology is static. Biological p...

A snake venom enzyme shows anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity in vitro As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to infect people worldwide, specific pharmaceutical interventions have been found to be few. As the logistics of mass vaccination are still being ironed out, most public health measures across the globe still largely involve non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) such as physical distancing, hand and face hygiene, mask-wearing, isolation of infected people and tracing of c...

Inherited or transmitted gut microbes affect skeletal development in animals Gut microbes passed from female mice to their offspring, or shared between mice that live together, may influence the animals bone mass, says a new study published today in eLife. The findings suggest that treatments which alter the gut microbiome could help improve bone structure or treat conditions that weaken bones, such as osteoporosis. Genetics account for most of the variability in human bone density, but non-ge...
