A new study suggests that even low levels of physical activity could protect the brain from Alzheimer’s disease – but not in the way scientists expected.

Researchers at Georgia State University have identified two modified metabolite-derived compounds, MLY2 and MLY8, that outperform their precursor molecule in experimental models of ulcerative colitis. Researchers at Georgia State University have identified two experimental compounds that could provide a starting point for developing new treatments for ulcerative colitis, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that remains difficult to manage in some patients.
