Using data from the NHANES study, researchers in China suggested that higher levels of all serum carotenoids, except lycopene, were associated with lower BMI and a lower prevalence of obesity in 1,329 children and adolescents.However, the cross-sectional design of the study and the mechanisms of carotenoid storage and metabolism limit any inference to causality. “These findings provide preliminary evidence for the possible relevance of carotenoids in pediatric adiposity and underscore the need for future longitudinal and mechanistic studies to confirm these associations and further explore the differential roles of individual carotenoids,” the researchers wrote.Carotenoids and healthThere are over 700 distinct…
Harvard University scored a victory in court two weeks ago, when a US judge ruled that its research grants should be reinstated and its funding unfrozen. But the administration of Republican President Donald Trump does not yet seem to be fully complying with the court order.Harvard vs Trump: what this epic battle means for scienceIn May, Trump’s team terminated roughly 1,000 grants awarded to Harvard worth more than US$2.8 billion, citing the institution’s alleged failure to protect its students from antisemitism.

A new study in Neurology links chronic insomnia with a 40% higher risk of later cognitive impairment.People with insomnia who also slept less than usual, were more likely to have markers tied to memory problems.Starting a nightly routine and advice from a health care professional can help with quality sleep. Sleepless nights aren’t just exhausting—they may carry implications for long-term brain health. While many of us experience occasional rough patches, chronic insomnia has been increasingly connected to memory and thinking changes as we age. Now, new research published in Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, adds…
The Nutrition Bar Confectioners, a US manufacturer, has been raided by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The forces targeting Latino employees have detained dozens — including nursing mothers separated from their infants — impacting business operations and expansion plans. New York State Governor Kathy Hochul visited the facility in Cato, where the event took place. “First of all, for the business, they’re struggling to keep their business afloat. I walked the factory lines that were idle. They make products that are sold in Costco, Walmart, and stores all across the world. They showed me the assembly lines that were…
A frustrating fact is that women are twice as likely as men1 to have depression. And the difference appears starting at age 122. Some known risks (unique or more prevalent for women) of depression include all the hormonal shifts from puberty to pregnancy to postpartum to menopause as well as financial struggles, work overload, and a history of abuse.
Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. Given that the disease is asymptomatic at early stages, pancreatic cancer is difficult to detect and easy to metastasize throughout the body. In a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation titled, “Antithrombin-binding heparan sulfate is ubiquitously expressed in epithelial cells and suppresses pancreatic tumorigenesis,” researchers from the Salk Institute and the University of California (UC) San Diego have identified a sugar, HSAT (antithrombin-binding heparan sulfate), as a potential therapeutic target for slowing tumor progression and metastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the most common pancreatic cancer. “We…
With just a few days left of Virgo season, there’s still time for one more new moon in Virgo to give us the motivation boost we need. (We already had the first Virgo new moon four weeks back, in case you missed it!) And not only is it rare to have two consecutive new moons in the same time, but this new moon in Virgo doubles as a partial solar eclipse.
