    Early overfeeding speeds muscle loss and shortens life in mice

    Overfeeding young mice damaged gut microbes, impaired muscle cell energy production, and worsened age-related muscle wasting in later life.Overfeeding young mice damaged gut microbes, impaired muscle cell energy production, and worsened age-related muscle wasting in later life.

    Periodic red light exposure eases cellular aging in mice

    In aged mice, periodic red light exposure raised histone acetylation across tissues and reduced SIRT4 levels in skin cells to activate lipid metabolism.In aged mice, periodic red light exposure raised histone acetylation across tissues and reduced SIRT4 levels in skin cells to activate lipid metabolism.

    Model estimates pancreatic cancer risk in type 2 diabetes

    At six months, the model’s ability to distinguish cancer cases from non-cases scored 0.88 in development, 0.89 in internal validation and 0.86 in external validation.At six months, the model’s ability to distinguish cancer cases from non-cases scored 0.88 in development, 0.89 in internal validation and 0.86 in external validation.

    Metformin linked to fewer clots in blood cancer and diabetes

    Metformin users had lower blood clot risk than non-users, with a hazard ratio of 0.78, a measure comparing risk over time.Metformin users had lower blood clot risk than non-users, with a hazard ratio of 0.78, a measure comparing risk over time.

    Causal discovery platform maps vascular metabolic pathways

    In data from 720,000 people, the self-evolving system evaluated 2,031 causal questions and identified blood pressure as a convergence node for vascular outcomes.In data from 720,000 people, the self-evolving system evaluated 2,031 causal questions and identified blood pressure as a convergence node for vascular outcomes.
