In a recent study, Spanish researchers investigated whether children’s socks contained the endocrine disruptors BPA and parabens. Could endocrine disruptors be present in the socks of babies and children? Endocrine disruptors are chemical compounds that act like or interfere with, hormonal activity in the body. Research has shown that endocrine disruptors in animals can cause
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen studied how exercising at different times of day may have different effects on metabolism. Circadian rhythms are biological functions that occur repeatedly over periods of about 24 hours. Some daily rhythms, such as feeding, are easy to identify, while others are less obvious as they happen at the cellular
Researchers have designed a brain aging model to investigate the factors that contribute to cognitive decline, borrowing principles from precision medicine. How can we tackle cognitive decline? Cognitive decline affects a person’s ability to focus, remember, and make decisions. Its severity can range from mild to severe, and it may lead to dementia, in the
A recent study reveals the avoidable causes of sleep-related baby suffocation. The biggest nightmare of every mother or father is the possibility of an unexpected death of their baby.

New research finds that the diabetes drug metformin changes stem cancer cells in a way that makes them easier to target with a new form of treatment. The findings could help treat triple-negative breast cancer, which is particularly aggressive. New research suggests that the drug metformin may be the key to tackling triple-negative breast cancer.
Sleeping more may be good for your health, according to The Journal of Sleep Research. Studies have shown the connection between lack of sleep and a higher risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, obesity, and even mortality. In a recent study, researchers aimed to see the beneficial effects of getting more sleep
A recent study has identified a protein involved in tumour progression that can potentially be therapeutically targeted to delay cancer development. Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the abnormal growth of cells, which can spread to other parts of the body. While there have been many advances made in cancer management and treatment
