Can Vitamin B3 Reverse Fatty Liver Disease? Study Says Niacin May Help
Researchers have discovered that a tiny molecule, known as microRNA-93 (miR-93), is the primary driver of fatty liver disease. In patients with the disease, levels of this molecule are unusually high.

New Cartilage Type Found: Lipocartilage Resembles Fat, Boosts Elasticity
Scientists have identified lipocartilage, a newly classified type of cartilage featuring fat-filled, balloon-like cells that offer elasticity and structural stability. Found in the external ears, noses, and throats of mammals, including humans, this tissue differs from traditional cartilage types by maintaining its size regardless of calorie intake...

Mitochondria Divide Roles for Energy and Molecular Synthesis Under Low-Nutrient Conditions, Reveals New Study
New findings reveal that mitochondria in nutrient-deprived cells adopt specialised roles to prioritise either energy generation or amino acid synthesis. Led by Dr. Craig Thompson of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the study identified specific mitochondrial subpopulations, allowing cells to maintain critical functions even under stress. The...
