Scientists find 10 different diets linked to slower aging - Science Daily

A new study found that two very different eating patterns shared a nutritional problem: inadequate fiber intake. Among 64 adults preparing for weight-loss surgery, approximately 83% consumed less fiber than recommended, regardless of their broader dietary profile. The Concordia University findings, publicized October 13, also revealed something unexpected. Participants who consumed more calories, fats, sugars, and nutrients showed no statistically significant differences in several heart and metabolic health markers compared with those consuming less.

Researchers identified two dietary profiles. One featured higher consumption of sugar, fat, and overall nutrients. The other contained fewer vitamins and less fiber. "The high sugar and high fat group might be eating more fatty food like beef as opposed to chicken, or even putting more sugar in their coffee," said Concordia professor Simon Bacon, PhD.

Study highlights tests as possible tool for monitoring neurodegeneration Thinning of a layer of nerve cells in the eye's retina was associated with slower information processing in people with multiple sclerosis, independent of physical disability, a study found.

PHYSICAL activity was associated with slower Parkinson progression, including reduced motor and cognitive decline, according to findings from a longitudinal cohort study of patients with Parkinson disease. Researchers evaluated whether different measures of physical activity influenced long term disease outcomes and found consistent associations between greater activity levels and slower progression over time.

AbstractBunyamwera virus (BUNV) is the prototypical member of the Peribunyaviridae family of arthropod-borne viruses and possesses a genome comprising three segments of negative-sense RNA, named small, medium and large. The medium segment encodes a polyprotein that is processed to form Gn and Gc spikes and a non-structural protein, NSm. The role of NSm during replication in mammalian cells is poorly characterized, although it associates with a Golgi-derived structure called the virus factory (VF), the site of BUNV genome replication and virion assembly. To further define NSm function, we generated an epitope-tagged BUNV and used co-immunoprecipitation and quantitative proteomics to identify host interacting partners.

People who develop pancreatic cancer experience measurable changes in body composition years before diagnosis that differ from those seen in similar individuals without cancer, according to a Mayo Clinic study led by former Mayo Clinic research fellow, Aleksander Bogdanski and published in Pancreatology. Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers, largely because most patients are diagnosed after the disease has already spread. Current surveillance programs focus primarily on people with inherited genetic risk or strong family histories, yet most pancreatic cancers occur outside those high-risk groups.
