Transforming prostate cancer treatment

Scientists are using a diagnostic test to better understand the biology of prostate cancer tumors, which could lead to a transformation in how prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated.   Queen’s University Belfast has led the world’s largest research study using a diagnostic test developed by Almac Diagnostics, to better understand the biology of prostate…

Treatment strategies for multidrug-resistant chronic infections

A new study finds that antibiotic treatment of chronic infections can be optimized by targeting vulnerabilities of antibiotic-resistant pathogens paving the way for more effective treatment strategies. Research paves the way for new rational treatment strategies of multidrug-resistant chronic infections. Antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas infections in cystic fibrosis patients show predictable sensitivities to other classes of antibiotics.…

Added Sugars and Low- and No-Calorie Sweeteners in a Representative Sample of Food Products Consumed by the Spanish ANIBES Study Population (Part 5 of 5)

Conclusions Abstract: Low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS), intensely sweet compounds that virtually contain no calories, are used to replace added sugars in food and drinks. Knowledge about different LNCS data in Spanish foods and added sugar sources in Spain is limited, therefore our aim was to identify and compare their presence across main food groups…

Part 1 Nutrigenomics: The Science of How Food Interacts With Our Genes

Imagine with me for a moment: Joe, the quirky, astute, dedicated scientist, approaches his laboratory for the day’s research. He opens the large double doors and begins to run routine safety checks. Equipment expiration dates are within range, ventilation systems are adequate, emergency showers and eyewash stations are functional. Joe settles upon himself a thick…
