In its efforts to develop infant nutrition that is compositionally closer to breast milk, Valio highlights the potential of exosomes for innovative formulas. These nanosized vesicles are generated by nearly all cells and are increasingly recognized as critical messengers that influence cellular communication and development. Valio notes that, in early life, human milk exosomes play a key role as mediators of mother-to-child interaction, supporting gut maturation, immune function, and nervous system development. However, the processing steps in infant milk formula production may impact their activity. Ahead of the company’s webinar next week, “Exosomes in infant nutrition: Unlocking new insights,” Nutrition Insight…

A new law that ties doctors’ pay to performance targets, and which imposes harsh penalties on any who seek to resist the changes, has drawn the fury of unions in Quebec.The law, known as “Loi 2,” seeks to replace the existing fee-for-service model with a capitation system, in which doctors are paid for each patient they take on.This, the government claims, will tackle the problem Quebec’s unattended patients. More than two million of the province’s nine million residents are not registered with a doctor, and Quebec has the longest waiting lists in Canada.But Loi 2 also makes 10% of doctors’…
Leucine is best known as a muscle-building amino acid. But new preclinical research1 suggests that it may have a deeper role in how our cells make energy. Beyond supporting protein synthesis, leucine appears to directly influence how mitochondria maintain and produce energy.*
Even chefs love canned cranberry sauce for the tart-sweet flavor and nostalgia it brings to their tables. The chefs we spoke to picked Ocean Spray Jellied Cranberry Sauce because it’s not too sweet, has a great texture and is a classic they grew up eating. Cranberry sauce isn’t just for turkey. It works well in sauces, on sandwiches and for elevating meatballs and oysters. It’s the season for serving cranberry sauce. Whether you’re putting the sweet-but-tart condiment on your Thanksgiving dinner table or using it to dress sandwiches made with leftover turkey, it’s always a good idea to keep some cranberry sauce…
Credit: Adapted from GettyMore than half a century ago, information scientist Derek De Solla Price observed that the scientific literature was growing exponentially, doubling every 10–15 years1. Little did he know that this observation would spawn not just a field of study, but an entire industry devoted to counting, measuring, weighing and indexing every aspect of academic output2. Today, the modern academic doesn’t just publish — they generate metrics. They don’t just research — they optimize their h-indices. And they certainly don’t just think up new ideas — they maximize citation counts while maintaining a favourable paper output.Ultimately, they produce…

Korro Bio (NASDAQ: KRRO) saw its stock reach its first of two all-time lows, cratering 81% Thursday after reporting disappointing data for its lead pipeline candidate KRRO-110, an RNA editing oligonucleotide being developed to treat alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). Korro reported data from its Phase I/IIa REWRITE clinical trial (NCT06677307) showing that KRRO-110 generated functional M-AAT protein in AATD patients, but not enough as the company had projected based on preclinical data. Across five AATD patients in REWRITE’s two single ascending dose (SAD) cohorts evaluable with turbidimetry, the greatest increase of total AAT protein from baseline was approximately 3 µM,…
If you’re experiencing uncomfortable symptoms of perimenopause and menopause there are a range of hormonal and nonhormonal treatments at your disposal. But you may be wary of taking hormones, or unwilling or unable to use any kind of medication due to underlying health conditions — and looking for options.To help identify effective alternatives, scientists have been investigating nondrug strategies that midlife women can use to manage issues like hot flashes, anxiety, and insomnia.A duo of new studies, for instance, provide evidence to support the benefits of two DIY techniques: masturbation and self-hypnosis.“These are really intended for women who are afraid…
