We all know someone who seems to defy aging – people who look younger than their peers despite being the same age. What is their secret? Scientists at Osaka University (Japan) may have found a way to quantify that difference. By incorporating hormone (steroid) metabolic pathways into an AI-driven model, they have developed a new […]
Mindfulness, overall sleep quality and alcohol consumption could explain why people who stay up late have a higher risk of depression, according to a new study published in the open access journal PLOS One by Simon Evans of the University of Surrey, UK, and colleagues. Previous research has shown that night owls, who stay up […]
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine have developed a powerful AI tool based on the same transformer architecture used by large language models like ChatGPT to process an entire night of sleep. To date, it is one of the largest studies, analyzing 1,011,192 hours of sleep. The model, called the Patch-Foundational-Transformer for Sleep (PFTSleep), […]
Proteins are essential for body growth and muscle development. However, protein metabolism varies depending on the body’s internal biological clock. Therefore, it is important to know how distributing protein intake throughout the day affects muscles. Researchers have found that eating protein for breakfast increases muscle size and function in mice and humans, shedding light on […]
The body’s internal clock not only determines when we sleep, but also how quickly our muscles heal. A new study of mice by Northwestern Medicine, published in Science Advances, suggests that muscle injuries heal faster when they occur during the body’s natural waking hours. The findings could have implications for shift workers and also prove […]
