Scientists uncover possible neural link between early life trauma and bing
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Research has revealed how a pathway in the brain that typically provides signals to stop eating may be altered by early life trauma. The discovery, obtained from studies in mice adds new perspective to binge eating and obesity.

Researchers discover ceramides role in aging muscle health
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
Mice experience inactivity, muscle loss, and strength loss as they age, just like humans do. The ceramide content of mice's muscles increases as they age, according to a group of researchers at EPFL lead by Johan Auwerx.

Longevity treatments do not slow aging: Research
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
In a new study, researchers have taken a close look at three treatment approaches that have been widely believed to slow the aging process. However, when tested in mice, these treatments proved largely ineffective in their supposed impact on aging.

Research finds aging is driven by unbalanced genes
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In a new study, Northwestern University researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze data from a wide variety of tissues, collected from humans, mice, rats and killifish. They discovered that the length of genes can explain most molecular-level changes that occur during aging.

Researchers identify critical brain cells in mice underlying stress-relate
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
More than 70% of adults will experience at least one traumatic experience, such as a life-threatening illness or accident, violent assault or natural disaster, in their lifetimes and nearly a third will experience four or more, according to global data.

Muscle loss severity is related to tumour type, size, location in mice
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Approximately 80% of cancer patients experience substantial muscle wasting or loss of muscular tissue, and 30% of these individuals die as a result of this illness. According to new mouse research, the severity of muscle wasting is related to the kind, size, and location of the tumour.

Microbes help orchestrate how gut uses its genes
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The microbes that help break down food actually tell the gut how to do its job better, according to a new study in mice. The researchers said it appears that the microbes are able to influence which of the gut's genes are being called into action, and in turn, that interaction might lead to

Ubiquitous nutrients suppress appetite and promote movement
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In experiments on mice, researchers show that non-essential amino acids act as appetite suppressants and promote the urge to move. Their research provides insight into the neural mechanism that controls this behaviour.
