Study explores how time-restricted eating affects weight loss

Study explores how time-restricted eating affects weight loss
2025-03-26
Time-restricted eating is the latest craze for people looking to lose weight, but whether it works is still the calorie-burning question.   A new study from the University of Mississippi shows that when healthy adults pair an eight-hour eating window with regular exercise, they lose more fat – without sacrificing lean muscle – compared to exercise alone, according to a study released in the International Journal of Obesity, which is published by the Nature Publishing Group.  “We saw that this did lead to more fat loss and reduced body fat percentage over time when healthy adults were following both exercise with time-restricting ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism for rapid liver regeneration triggered by glutamate

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism for rapid liver regeneration triggered by glutamate
2025-03-26
Research conducted by the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), published today in ‘Nature’, reveals a mechanism in mice that is triggered just minutes after acute liver damage occurs. This finding opens up avenues for future treatments of serious liver damage to include a diet enriched with the amino acid glutamate. Glutamate supplementation can promote liver regeneration and benefit patients in recovery following hepatectomy or awaiting a transplant, the authors write in ‘Nature’. Activating liver regeneration is key to treating diseases that involve severe liver damage, which are becoming increasingly frequent and are associated ...

Scientists discover why obesity takes away the pleasure of eating

Scientists discover why obesity takes away the pleasure of eating
2025-03-26
The pleasure we get from eating junk food — the dopamine rush from crunching down on salty, greasy French fries and a luscious burger — is often blamed as the cause of overeating and rising obesity rates in our society. But a new study by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that pleasure in eating, even eating junk food, is key for maintaining a healthy weight in a society that abounds with cheap, high-fat food. Paradoxically, anecdotal evidence suggests that people with obesity may take less pleasure in eating than those of normal weight. Brain scans of obese individuals ...

How cells respond to stress is more nuanced than previously believed

How cells respond to stress is more nuanced than previously believed
2025-03-26
CLEVELAND—The body’s cells respond to stress—toxins, mutations, starvation or other assaults—by pausing normal functions to focus on conserving energy, repairing damaged components and boosting defenses. If the stress is manageable, cells resume normal activity; if not, they self-destruct. Scientists have believed for decades this response happens as a linear chain of events: sensors in the cell “sound an alarm” and modify a key protein, which then changes a second protein that slows or shuts down the cell’s normal function. But in a new study published today in the journal Nature, researchers at Case Western Reserve University have discovered a ...

A new method to recycle fluoride from long-lived PFAS chemicals

A new method to recycle fluoride from long-lived PFAS chemicals

UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL: 16:00 GMT / 12 NOON ET WEDNESDAY 26 MARCH 2025 A new method to recycle fluoride from long-lived PFAS chemicals Images available via the link in the notes section. Oxford Chemistry researchers have developed a method to destroy fluorine-containing PFAS (sometimes labelled ‘forever chemicals’) while recovering their fluorine content for future use. The results have been published today (26 March 2025) in Nature. PFAS – which stands for poly- and perfluoroalkylated substances – have been produced in large ...

A breakthrough moment: McMaster researchers discover new class of antibiotics

A breakthrough moment: McMaster researchers discover new class of antibiotics
2025-03-26
The last time a new class of antibiotics reached the market was nearly three decades ago — but that could soon change, thanks to a discovery by researchers at McMaster University. A team led by renowned researcher Gerry Wright has identified a strong candidate to challenge even some of the most drug-resistant bacteria on the planet: a new molecule called lariocidin. The findings were published in the journal Nature on March 26, 2025. The discovery of the all-new class of antibiotics responds to a critical need for new antimicrobial ...

The devastating human impact on biodiversity

The devastating human impact on biodiversity
2025-03-26
Humans are having a highly detrimental impact on biodiversity worldwide. Not only is the number of species declining, but the composition of species communities is also changing. These are the findings of a study by Eawag and the University of Zurich published in the scientific journal Nature. It is one of the largest studies ever conducted on this topic. Biological diversity is under threat. More and more plant and animal species are disappearing worldwide, and humans are responsible. Until now, however, there has been no synthesis of the extent of human intervention in nature and whether the effects can be found everywhere in the world ...
