| Team discovers how microbes build a powerful antibiotic Posted: 26 Oct 2014 04:54 PM PDT Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding how a powerful antibiotic agent is made in nature. Their discovery solves a decades-old mystery, and opens up new avenues of research into thousands of similar molecules, many of which are likely to be medically useful.       |
| Dietary cocoa flavanols reverse age-related memory decline in mice Posted: 26 Oct 2014 04:50 PM PDT Dietary cocoa flavanols —- naturally occurring bioactives found in cocoa —- reversed age-related memory decline in healthy older adults, according to a new study. Flavanols are also found naturally in tea leaves and in certain fruits and vegetables.  |
| Sunshine may slow weight gain, diabetes onset, study suggests Posted: 23 Oct 2014 12:50 PM PDT Exposure to moderate amounts of sunshine may slow the development of obesity and diabetes, a study in mice suggests. The researchers showed that shining UV light at overfed mice slowed their weight gain. The mice displayed fewer of the warning signs linked to diabetes, such as abnormal glucose levels and resistance to insulin.  |
