Overeating not the primary cause of obesity, scientists claim
The scientists argue for the 'carbohydrate-insulin model', which explains obesity as a metabolic disorder driven by what we eat, rather than how much.
Standing more may help to prevent chronic diseases
Standing is associated with better insulin sensitivity, independently of a person's amount of daily physical activity, sitting time, fitness level or weight.
Exposure to sunlight enhances romantic passion
In 32 study subjects, all treated with UVB phototherapy, both men and women exhibited a rise in romantic passion, and males also noted an increase in levels of aggression.
Breast cancer ecotypes could guide personalised treatment
Researchers reveal more than 50 distinct cancer, immune and connective cell types and states which could assign breast cancers to one of nine cancer 'ecotypes'.
Genetic trigger for type 1 diabetes may be in the lungs
New research supports a theory that respiratory viral infections can trigger the onset of type 1 diabetes.
Creating a genetic medicine manufacturing ecosystem: part 2
The landscape has shifted from a hopeless pipedream to firm steps and to the creation of such an ecosystem, from the unlikeliest places.
