Our muscles are constantly breaking down and building up. For that muscle building, we need protein from food. According to research, a meal with meat ensures faster muscle building than a vegan meal with the same amount of protein.

A new study led by Stanford Medicine scientists demonstrates a simple way of studying organ aging by analyzing distinct proteins, or sets of them, in blood, enabling the prediction of individuals’ risk for diseases.

A test that analyzes specific sets of proteins in the blood can tell us how fast each of our organs is aging, enabling the prediction of disease risk and earlier intervention.

Scientists reveal unprecedented insights into human limb development, including the many intricate processes that govern their formation.

Scientists have identified abnormal aggregates of a protein called TAF15 in the brains of individuals with early-onset dementia, known as frontotemporal dementia, where the cause was not previously known.

A protein in the immune system programmed to protect the body from fungal infections is also responsible for exacerbating the severity of certain autoimmune diseases.

In a promising development, a research group has revealed that stimulating autonomic vagal nerves connected to the pancreas can improve the function and also increase the number of pancreatic β-cells in mice.

Researchers have shown that an influx of water and ions into immune cells allows them to migrate to where they’re needed in the body.

A newly developed blood test could identify the pathology that triggers Parkinson's disease before symptoms occur, allowing clinicians to screen those at high risk of the disease.

Reverse metabolomics is a new technique that combines organic synthesis, data science and mass spectrometry to better understand what molecules are being secreted by the microbiome and how they affect human health.
