Reports that inhibition of the age-associated gerozyme 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) restores articular (hyaline) cartilage in aged and injured joints by reprogramming resident chondrocytes rather than activating stem cells. 15-PGDH, which increases with age and degrades prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), drives cartilage thinning, inflammation, and osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Pharmacological blockade of 15-PGDH in aged and ACL-injured mice… Read More
New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine has revealed a surprising role for pain-sensing nerves in bone fracture healing. Far from acting only as alarm systems that signal injury, sensory neurons actively guide the repair process. In mouse models, these “pain pathways” were shown to transform after a fracture—from nociceptors that report pain and inflammation into… Read More
Indole, a byproduct of the amino acid tryptophan, acts as a bacterial signal that drives biofilm formation including the tooth-clinging plaques linked to oral infections and dental caries. These biofilms, major public health threats, form complex structures on teeth via pioneer microbes like Streptococcus mutans, the prime culprit in cavities.Our study reveals that 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM),… Read More
Conflicting guidelines on low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) stem largely from how evidence is analyzed. This umbrella review evaluated whether analytical approach influences conclusions on LNCS and cardiometabolic health. Across randomized trials, LNCS consistently reduced energy intake, body weight, and body fat. Bias-adjusted analyses also showed reductions in BMI and systolic blood pressure, with modest… Read More
This review analyzed 23 RCTs on supplements for osteoarthritis. Passion fruit peel extract showed the strongest improvement in pain and function, followed by Lanconone and collagen. Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40425393 Read More
