The gut microbiome of infants oscillates in a circadian rhythm, even when cultured outside the body. Researchers report in the journal Cell Host & Microbe that this rhythm is detectable as early as two weeks after birth, but becomes more pronounced with increasing age. The findings come from a randomized controlled trial that also showed […]
A new analysis involving more than 13,000 people has found that changes to blood vessels in the brain that can increase the risk of stroke and dementia are common in people with a range of heart conditions, regardless of whether they have already had a stroke. The new research, published in Neurology®, the medical journal […]
Using data from mice and humans, a Johns Hopkins Medicine research team has found that a cell surface protein that senses odors and chemicals may be responsible for and explain sex differences in blood pressure in mammals. The unusual link between such protein receptors and sex differences in blood pressure, reported in Science Advances, could […]
According to a new study by researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, controlling the circadian rhythm through intense light and timed therapy may help prevent or treat a number of diseases of the circulatory system, including heart disease. The study was published in Circulation Research, an official journal of the American Heart […]
As decades of research have shown, poor sleep habits are closely linked to long-term chronic health conditions. To better understand this link, a team led by researchers at Penn State College of Health and Human Development identified four distinct patterns that characterize most people’s sleep patterns. These patterns also tell us something about long-term health. […]
