They’re running themselves ragged — and possibly fast-tracking Father Time. Ultramarathons are surging in popularity, with more than 100,000 North Americans racing beyond 26.2 miles last year, nearly ...

Protein intake influences far more than muscle mass; it shapes vascular function and pancreatic insulin dynamics over time.

Diabetes is less common among people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, than at sea level, and researchers who have discovered why that happens say the reason may lead to new ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low ...

Researchers aimed at clarifying the mechanism underlying this connection and tracking the fate of glucose in hypoxic animals.

Red blood cells (RBCs), traditionally regarded as passive oxygen carriers, are now recognized as highly dynamic regulators of immune and vascular ...

The Alzheimer’s ‘clock’ could make it easier to treat the disease early, before memory problems appear. A simple blood test might one day serve as a molecular ‘clock’ that predicts not only whether ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low oxygen levels—such as those found at high altitudes. One of the most striking ...

Red blood cells may hold the secret to fighting diabetes—by soaking up sugar when oxygen runs low. People who live high in the mountains have long been observed to develop diabetes less often than ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection ...

Antibodies harvested from the blood of paediatricians are up to 25 times better at protecting against the common respiratory ...

Extreme endurance running damages red blood cells in ways that may affect their ability to function properly, according to a ...
