Study shows direct link between circadian clock disruption and lipid changes in diabetics

Study shows direct link between circadian clock disruption and lipid changes in diabetics

Leave a Comment / Health / By

The team from Geneva, Switzerland shows that disruption of lipid temporal profiles in type 2 diabetes stiffens the membrane of pancreatic endocrine cells, which could alter their function. Like all living things, human physiological processes are affected by circadian rhythms. Disruption of our internal clocks due to increasingly unbalanced lifestyles is directly related to the …

Leave a Comment / Health / By

If COVID-19 has taught us anything, it must have been that poorly ventilated buildings can be a health hazard. Yet they continue to be built due to a weakness in the current rules. Under Australia’s National Building Code, it is possible to build a nightclub for 1000 people without ventilation. And it is possible to …

Integrating recent advances in multi-omic tumor profiling into precision cancer treatment

Leave a Comment / Health / By

Tumors have significant differences depending on the person affected, even if they are the same cancer, such as breast cancer. Therefore, precision oncology focuses on the specific genetic characteristics of the tumor and incorporates them into the treatment. In this way, existing therapies can be “tailored” to avoid side effects and save money on expensive …
