New Insights into Insulin Resistance: Sympathetic Nervous System Overactivation as a Key Factor

A recent study from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School has provided groundbreaking insights into the causes of insulin resistance, a core feature of metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes. Traditionally, insulin resistance in obesity was thought to stem primarily from impaired cellular insulin signaling. However, this new research reveals that overactivation of the sympathetic… Read More »

Can Mammograms Help Detect Heart Disease Risk? A New Look at Breast Arterial Calcifications

As more people get mammograms every year to screen for breast cancer, an additional benefit may be emerging: heart disease risk detection. With advanced technology and artificial intelligence, some imaging centers now offer screenings for cardiovascular risks based on breast arterial calcification visible in mammogram images.

Can Semaglutide Drugs Help Reduce Alzheimer’s Risk?

Recent research suggests that semaglutide drugs – commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes – may offer additional benefits by potentially lowering the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s, a form of dementia that affects memory and behavior, has no known cure. However, medications like semaglutide, which are already being used to manage diabetes, might… Read More »

Surprising Link Between Pain and Viruses: How STING May Hold the Key

Researchers have uncovered a surprising connection between pain and viral infections that doesn’t involve inflammation. A recent study shows that a specific immune sensor called STING can trigger pain by activating certain neurons in the body, all without causing inflammation. This discovery could lead to new treatments for viral-related pain, like the pain caused by… Read More »
