Spinal Cord Repair Mechanism Identified
A newly described repair pathway involving astrocytes—support cells in the spinal cord—may open new avenues for treating paralysis and multiple sclerosis.
Preclinical investigations are ongoing.
Plant-Based Diet Study Reduces Insulin Needs in Type 1 Diabetes
A recent clinical study found that participants with Type 1 diabetes following a low-fat vegan diet reduced insulin requirements by nearly 30%.
Researchers report improvements in insulin sensitivity and inflammation markers, though larger trials are needed.
Ultra-Processed Foods Linked to Higher Cardiovascular Risk
Public health experts recommend limiting processed snacks, sugary beverages, and packaged ready-to-eat meals.
