 Healthy low-carb diet and time-restricted eating improve weight loss and gut health beyond calorie restrictionHealthy low-carb diet and time-restricted eating improve weight loss and gut health beyond calorie restriction
 
Researchers discovered that a healthy low-carb diet and time-restricted eating, combined with moderate calorie restriction, offer significant weight loss and gut health benefits for overweight adults, with some effects lasting up to 28 weeks post-intervention.
 
 
 How gut bacteria regulate stress and sleep cyclesHow gut bacteria regulate stress and sleep cycles
 
This study reveals that gut microbiota, particularly Lactobacillus species, regulate the daily rhythm of stress hormones like corticosterone, influencing stress responses and brain function at different times of the day. Disruptions in gut bacteria lead to altered stress responses and increased susceptibility to disorders like depression.
 
   New discovery reveals how mutant RAS genes drive tumor growthNew discovery reveals how mutant RAS genes drive tumor growth
 
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and their collaborators have discovered a new way in which RAS genes, which are commonly mutated in cancer, may drive tumor growth beyond their well-known role in signaling at the cell surface.
 
   Changes in gut microbiome could signal onset of rheumatoid arthritisChanges in gut microbiome could signal onset of rheumatoid arthritis
 
Changes in the make-up of the gut microbiome are linked to the onset of clinically evident rheumatoid arthritis in those at risk of the disease because of genetic, environmental, or immunological factors, suggests research published online in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
 
 Study shows how microbial load affects gut health and disease
 
Study shows how microbial load affects gut health and diseaseIn sickness or in health, the billions of microorganisms that inhabit our guts are our constant companions throughout life. In the past few decades, scientists have shown how the nature of this 'microbiome' can provide valuable clues to human diseases and their treatment.

Link between COVID-19 and long-term risk of autoimmune and autoinflammatory connective tissue disordersCOVID-19 survivors may develop autoimmune conditions long-term, with risks varying by severity and vaccination status, necessitating continued health vigilance.
 
 
 Targeting CD47 protein could improve colorectal cancer treatment
 
Targeting CD47 protein could improve colorectal cancer treatmentA new study from the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center has found evidence that targeting CD47, a protein that is part of the innate immune system, could be a key step in fighting colorectal cancer.
