Study assesses the efficacy of protein hydrolysis in developing gut-friendly dairy alternatives

A recent Finnish study investigated the effects of A2 milk, marketed as a gut-friendly alternative, and protein-hydrolyzed lactose-free milk on gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammation levels. The study found that protein-hydrolyzed lactose-free milk was as tolerated as A2 milk by lactose-tolerant individuals and better tolerated by lactose-intolerant individuals.

Researchers design factor IX variants for short- and long-term Hemophilia B management

After blood vessel damage, effective blood clotting is essential to halt bleeding. However, this process is inefficient in some individuals due to hereditary factors. Hemophilia B, for example, results from a deficiency in coagulation factor IX (FIX), which can lead to prolonged bleeding after injuries or surgery.

What’s more dangerous, road cycling or mountain biking?

Researchers in Barcelona analyzed 149 injured cyclists and found that while mountain biking accidents were more frequent, road cycling caused more severe injuries, especially head trauma. Older age strongly increased injury severity in road cyclists, highlighting a vulnerable group in need of attention.

Scientists test whether chaya leaves can lower blood sugar in diabetes

Researchers reviewed current evidence on the chaya plant (Cnidoscolus chayamansa), highlighting its nutritional profile, hypoglycemic activity in animal models, and potential as a complementary aid for diabetes management. While promising, safety, dosage, and interaction studies remain essential before clinical use.

Yale researchers develop new test for early leptospirosis detection

In a new study, Yale School of Medicine (YSM) researchers unveiled a novel diagnostic method for detecting leptospiral virulence-modifying (VM) proteins in the blood and urine of hamsters, an advance that could pave the way for early diagnosis of the tropical disease leptospirosis in humans and improved treatment options.
