New research shows toddlers who ate less sugar in their first two years had sharper brains decades later. Scientists studied UK sugar rationing after World War Two to uncover the lasting power of early nutrition.
New research links blood sugar spikes after meals to Alzheimer's disease risk, offering hope that simple diet changes could protect brain health. Scientists found genetic predisposition to post-meal sugar spikes increased relative Alzheimer's risk by 69 percent.
A new study suggests prebiotic sodas could help manage blood sugar spikes better than traditional soft drinks. While the research is preliminary, it offers hope for people looking for healthier beverage alternatives.
Scientists discovered that eating more fat, not less, could help people with high blood sugar get the full benefits of exercise. The research challenges traditional health advice and offers new hope for millions managing diabetes.
A naturally sweet sugar that doesn't trigger insulin spikes just became affordable to produce, thanks to an unlikely hero: slime mold. Tagatose could finally give people with diabetes and health-conscious eaters a real alternative to artificial sweeteners.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Australian researchers discovered how to weaponize special sugar molecules to destroy deadly drug-resistant bacteria, offering hope for infections that no longer respond to antibiotics. The breakthrough could save countless lives in hospitals worldwide.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
Researchers discovered that a molecule once thought to only mark proteins for breakdown also directly controls how our bodies store and use sugar. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments for diabetes, obesity, and metabolic diseases.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
Researchers detected a life-building sugar molecule floating in interstellar space for the first time, suggesting the ingredients for life might form in cosmic dust clouds before reaching Earth. This discovery could help solve the mystery of how life began on our planet.
Your gut might be smarter than you think. Researchers discovered a hidden communication system between your gut and brain that shifts cravings from sugar to protein when your body needs it most.
Scientists discovered that brain immune cells rush to injury sites powered only by sugar, then spend six hours building pathways to bring in their cellular powerhouses. This finding could help researchers understand what goes wrong during aging and brain disease.
