The research, published in the journal Nutrients, assessed whether MSM supplementation alters post-exercise mRNA biomarkers linked to immune responses to oxidative stress and sterile inflammation, as mRNA biomarkers are able to reflect subtle changes in immune homeostasis.Low-dose MSM for sports nutrition formulationsMSM is a sulfur-containing compound commonly sold as a dietary supplement for joint health and inflammation.Previous research indicates that MSM supplementation reduced arthritis symptoms and post-exercise muscle and joint soreness, and MSM combined with polyphenols improves inflammatory and immune responses after endurance exercise. In this new study, researchers in the United States and South Africa used doses of MSM…

Traditional cell cultures and animal models fail to fully capture the cellular diversity, tissue architecture, and signaling networks that drive disease progression and therapeutic resistance. That’s why three-dimensional (3D) platforms like organoids, which can accurately recreate the cellular heterogeneity and microenvironmental context of native tissues, are becoming increasingly important in the context of oncology, infectious disease, and other research areas.In this GEN webinar, two experts in the field will highlight the powerful potential of organoid platforms to unearth hidden details of complex disease mechanisms. Amanda Linkous, PhD, will describe how her team created 3D organoid models of the human lung…

I’ve been dealing with back pain and tight hips for more than a decade, and I’ve tried just about every solution: from Pilates classes to massage guns. While I’ve found a few trusty ways to ward off pain over the years, like red light, these reliable methods often come with a $500+ price tag to match.

In this BMJ Investigation (BMJ 2025;390:r1363, doi:10.1136/bmj.r1363, published 9 July 2025), the amounts of sugar in energy drinks were incorrectly stated in milligrams rather than grams. The sentences have been corrected to: A 250 ml can of Red Bull contains 27.5 g of sugar—above the total recommended daily intake for children (24 g)—and 80 mg of caffeine, just below the average of a cup of coffee. A 500 ml can of Monster Energy contains 55 g of sugar and 160 mg of caffeine.

CVD remains the leading cause of disease burden worldwide, responsible for one in three deaths, according to the latest Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study special report published in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology. The special report assessed 376 diseases in 204 countries between 1990 and 2023. CVD remains the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and deaths globally. In 2023, CVDs caused 437 million DALYs, a 1.4-fold increase from 320 million in 1990, with a 16-fold difference between countries with the lowest and highest DALY rates. Deaths from CVDs rose from 13.1 million in 1990…

In the 1960s, psychedelic drug research was reportedly on the brink of a breakthrough, deemed a silver bullet that could treat a plethora of psychiatric disorders. Researchers found that drugs such as psilocybin (the primary psychoactive constituent in “magic mushrooms”) and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD or “acid”) could save one from the crippling grips of depression, addiction, and even sexual dysfunction with just a single dose.1 However, the United States government perceived psychedelics as a destabilizing threat to individuals and society, and in 1970, the Controlled Substances Act quashed research on psychedelics by categorizing them as Schedule I: drugs with…
