Ghrelin, widely recognized as the hunger hormone, is now under the spotlight for its role in mental health. Recent studies suggest that this metabolic signal may influence mood, especially in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD). This connection between ghrelin and emotional states reveals new possibilities for understanding the gut-brain axis. Ghrelin levels rise during fasting […]

For researchers studying autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), accessing high-quality protein samples is essential for uncovering disease mechanisms and exploring therapeutic targets. The challenge lies in developing protocols that provide consistent and reproducible results while preserving sample integrity. The Precellys Evolution Touch tissue homogenizer has proven to be a reliable tool for addressing these needs. […]

The 2024 Olympic Games, held in Paris, represented a major event requiring rigorous security and supervision to ensure the protection of athletes, spectators and residents. With millions of visitors expected, crowd management, incident prevention and cyber security were top priorities. This was achieved by coordinating local authorities, security services and technology experts to anticipate risks […]

Researchers have made some fascinating discoveries about the treatment of migraine. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has long been associated with the development of migraine. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the CGRP pathway, including erenumab, galcanezumab and fremanezumab, have shown promise in clinical trials and real-life studies. Initially, the European Headache Federation recommended treatment with CGRP(-R) mAbs […]

Atmospheric boundary level (ABL) is the lowest part of the atmosphere that is highly influenced by its contact with the surface of the planet. The diverse microorganisms found in the ABL are continuously aerosolized and dispersed from surface sources. Knowledge of microbial diversity in the ABL is crucial as it can be potentially dangerous for […]

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is known for its anti-inflammatory effects and is commonly used to treat auto-immune and systemic inflammatory diseases. Basophils are a type of white blood cells that are responsible for inflammatory reactions during the immune response and produce inflammatory mediators such as histamine and serotonin. Recently, it has been reported that, the anti-inflammatory […]
