Study suggests protein made in the liver is a key factor in men’s bone health

admin — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 14:01:37 +0000

New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males.

A ��Թ�-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver helps regulate bone growth in male mice, but not in females. The findings may help explain why men with liver disease are more likely to experience bone loss.

��Թ� researchers develop quick test that stands to curb antimicrobial resistance

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 14:48:47 +0000

��Թ� researchers have developed a diagnostic system capable of identifying bacteria –and determining which antibiotics can stop them – in just 36 minutes, a major advance in the global effort to curb antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Current clinical testing methods typically take 48 to 72 hours, leaving physicians without timely guidance.

The researchers say this innovation arrives at a critical moment due to the urgency of the AMR crisis, which arises from bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics.
