Scientists have discovered a naturally-occurring molecule that rivals the weight-loss effects of semaglutide-based GLP-1s like Ozempic in animals.

Mitochondria act as cellular power plants, converting nutrients into energy. When these structures fail, cells struggle to function properly. Their dysfunction has been tied to metabolic disorders, ...

Researchers have used gene therapy to cure diabetes in mice by inducing liver cells to secrete several key hormones, including insulin. This research may open the door to promising diabetes ...

MIT scientists have created a method to "paint" GLP-1 drugs onto antibodies inside the body, achieving longer-lasting effects ...

Exposure to antibiotics during a key developmental window in infancy can stunt growth of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas and may boost risk of diabetes later in life, new research in mice ...

Anyone who has tried to lose weight by cutting calories knows the frustration—after initial success, weight loss slows down or stops completely. This happens because the body adapts to lower calorie ...

Of the two well-known rodent models of human type 1 diabetes (the non-obese diabetic mouse and the BioBreeding rat) the mouse has become the model of choice. Here the authors re-examine the value ...

Exposure to antibiotics during a key developmental window in infancy can stunt the growth of insulin-producing cells in the ...
