Blood proteins may offer new clues to gut health in coeliac disease

Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system reacts adversely to gluten. Eating gluten causes inflammation in the gut, which can damage the intestine and impair its ability to absorb nutrients.

Some mice showed signs of stress resilience before the stress even began

Researchers found that mice later classified as resilient showed stronger coordination between neuronal OFF-periods and slow-wave activity in the prelimbic cortex even before social stress. After social defeat, resilient mice also showed a distinct reorganization of neuronal silence during NREM sleep, linking local sleep dynamics with behavioral resilience.

GLP-1 drugs and SGLT-2 inhibitors linked to slower kidney decline

The diabetes drugs glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor drugs may also help to slow decline in kidney function in people with type 2 diabetes and albuminuria (high protein levels in the urine), finds a large US study published by The BMJ today.
