Gut's role in gout: New study unravels microbiome's influence on uric acid levels
In a recent study published in the journal Nutrients, researchers investigated the causal association between gut microbiome (GM) composition, gout, and serological urate (SUA) values using Mendelian randomization (MR). Gout, a prevalent inflammatory disease characterized by high SUA levels, has been linked to gout. GM may impact uric acid metabolism by influencing the metabolism of […]
Dengue: Why is this sometimes fatal disease increasing around the world?
Something unusual seems to be happening with dengue, a potentially fatal mosquito-borne viral disease found across swathes of tropical Africa, Asia and the Americas. As with most infectious diseases, the number of cases tends to rise and fall over the years as epidemics come and go, but recently changes seem to be afoot in how […]
How lung cell transplant can improve breathing
How lung cell transplant can improve breathing Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease affects about 1.4million people in the UK Cells taken from a patient’s own lungs could be used to treat — or even cure — chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd), that affects about 1.4million people in the UK and leaves many struggling for breath. Research […]

MASLD Linked to Increased Risk for Various Clinical Outcomes
TOPLINE: Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) significantly raises the risk for cardiovascular, metabolic, oncologic, and other outcomes, a new meta-analysis suggests. METHODOLOGY: Researchers conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of studies to investigate longitudinal clinical outcomes associated with MASLD, previously known as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. They identified 129 original studies that evaluated the longitudinal risks […]
Graphene oxide offers a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer's disease
Reviewed A probable early driver of Alzheimer's disease is the accumulation of molecules called amyloid peptides. These cause cell death, and are commonly found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, have now shown that yeast cells that accumulate these misfolded amyloid peptides can recover after being treated with graphene […]
