Piperine is the teammate we all deserve!
Conducted by researchers from Atlantic Technological University, Sport Ireland Institute and Ulster University in Ireland, the report aimed to map current knowledge, identify effective nutrition-based interventions and highlight existing research gaps.“Sleep is a critical pillar of health and elite athletic performance, influencing recovery, adaptation, cognitive function and injury risk,” Professor Sharon Madigan, head of performance nutrition at Sport Ireland Institute, told NutraIngredients. “Despite its recognized importance, the specific role of nutritional strategies to enhance sleep quality and duration in athletes is an emerging field with fragmented evidence. There are lots of views and opinions of which many have no credible…
Protein shakes, bars and powders can be quick, convenient sources of protein.Yet, many contain ingredients that could age you and increase chronic disease risk.If you do eat them, make them part of an eating plan filled with whole, nutrient-rich foods. If there’s one nutrition trend that’s sticking around, it’s the high-protein craze. It’s popular for lots of good reasons. Protein is important for muscle, bone and skin health. It also promotes satiety, so it helps with weight management, too. As beneficial as protein is, it comes in a variety of foods. And some of them are better for you than…
Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today unveiled the Waters Xevo Charge Detection Mass Spectrometer (CDMS), delivering unmatched measurement and characterization for the broadest range of mega-mass biomolecules central to next-generation therapeutics and structural biology. With the rapid growth of cell and gene therapies, mRNA, and complex protein therapeutics, scientists face significant challenges in analyzing increasingly large and heterogeneous drug modalities – yet existing tools are limited in resolution, sensitivity, and compliance-readiness. The Xevo CDMS System addresses these gaps with direct, individual-particle mass measurement for molecules up to 150+ MDa, enabling previously unattainable analysis of protein complexes, nucleic acids, lipid nanoparticles, viral…
Fluorescent dyes can help researchers to visualize the structure of a cell — but it can be difficult to use more than a handful.Credit: David Becker/SPLWhen working with fluorescent dyes or proteins, researchers typically focus on two variables: the wavelength of light at which the molecules are stimulated to fluoresce, and the wavelengths at which they emit light — that is, their colour. By balancing those properties, researchers can distinguish between half a dozen or so fluorescently tagged molecules in the same sample.But there’s more to fluorescence than colour, and scientists can now more easily use another property of fluorescent…
Today marks World Food Day with the theme “Hand-in-hand for Better Foods and a Better Future.” It also marks the founding of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and is a day to reflect on the links between food and health. “No single solution or actor alone will solve this challenge — but collaboration across health, agriculture, and education sectors can move us closer to a future where healthy food is available and affordable for all,” says Thomas Pesek, Senior Liaison Officer at the FAO Liaison Office for North America. The 2025 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the…

The study, in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, underscores the importance of improving muscle mass and strength in people with higher body weight. “Our findings show that muscle strength is a powerful, early sign of who is most at risk of developing obesity-induced organ dysfunctions among people with excess body fat,” said study author researcher Yun Shen, PhD, from Louisiana…

The H5 subtype of avian influenza viruses has spilled over into mammals and is particularly concerning to researchers due to the risk of them evolving to cause another pandemic. But because there are multiple variants of these viruses, it has been hard to pre-prepare vaccines. Now, a team have used information…
A long acting injection given every two months to reduce the risk of contracting HIV is to be made available in England for people who are unable to have a daily prophylaxis tablet.The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) said its approval1 of the “groundbreaking” preventative therapy would support the government’s target of eliminating HIV transmissions by 2030.Latest data from the UK Health and Security Agency show that new HIV diagnoses fell by 2% in England from 2838 in 2023 to 2773 in 2024.2“This breakthrough preventative therapy is another powerful tool in our arsenal to reach that crucial…
