A University of Saskatchewan (USask) research team’s discovery of the additional health benefits of an appetite-suppressing protein has doubled the potential for scientists to find new ways to treat obesity and metabolic disorders in animals and humans. The researchers’ findings, recently published in the journal Nature Communications Biology, highlight their discovery of the lipid-lowering effects […]
Why Nightmares and Daydreams Could be Early Warning Signs of an Autoimmune Disease
An increase in nightmares and hallucinations – or daydreaming – could herald the onset of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, according to an international team led by researchers from the University of Cambridge and King’s College London. The researchers argue that there needs to be better recognition that these types of mental and neurological symptoms […]
Less Than Five Hours of Sleep per Night is Associated With a Higher Risk of Several Diseases
Good quality sleep is essential for good health. More and more research is looking at how sleep duration affects wellbeing and the development of disease. Research led by UCL researchers concludes that less than five hours of sleep in mid to late life may be associated with an increased risk of developing at least two […]
Sleep Apnea Can Impair Memory
Poor sleep quality can have a negative impact on memory. Research has already shown that fluctuations in nightly sleep duration and reduced sleep quality impair older adults’ ability to recall information about past events. It has been known for decades that important things happen during sleep in terms of consolidating memory and strengthening recollections. Current […]
Scientists Have Discovered that Ageing Clocks are Based on Random Events
Ageing clocks can measure the biological age of people with high precision. Biological age can be influenced by environmental factors such as smoking or diet and can therefore deviate from chronological age, which is calculated based on the date of birth. The accuracy of these aging clocks suggests that the aging process follows a program. […]
