New research reveals a brain-fat tissue feedback loop that influences aging
Posted:
A new study reveals a vital brain-fat tissue feedback loop that plays a pivotal role in aging. The research identifies specific neurons in the hypothalamus that, when activated, signal the body’s fat tissue to release energy, facilitating physical activity and brain function. As this feedback loop deteriorates with age, health problems associated with aging become more prevalent.
Based on research completed as part of a multi-year collaboration with Nokia Bell Labs, biomedical engineers at Duke University are developing a solution. Using a custom-built optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system together with artificial intelligence (AI) models grounded in…
Rare conditions in the ICU include both formally classified rare diseases and conditions that occur infrequently in critical care settings. These patients often face delayed diagnosis, limited specialist expertise and complex multisystem involvement, all of which contribute to poorer outcomes…
