New Male Birth Control Temporarily Disables Sperm

Healthcare, Medicine, Science /

Researchers are advancing toward a non-hormonal, reversible, and safe male contraceptive by effectively targeting a key protein involved in sperm fertility. Temporarily inhibiting this protein would allow men to control their contraceptive window, similar to oral contraceptives for women, but without additional side effects or lasting impacts on fertility. Prior knowledge indicated that a mutation […]

Experimental HIV Vaccine Induces Potent Antibodies in Humans

Healthcare, Medicine, Science /

For a vaccine to be effective, it must stimulate the production of antibodies in those immunized, which are ready to neutralize future infections. To be considered safe, it should achieve this in most individuals without causing significant side effects or adverse reactions. A new HIV vaccine candidate is navigating familiar challenges in early-stage clinical trials,

The Anti-Inflammatory Impacts of the 5:2 Fasting Regimen Can Be Attributed to a Pair of Proteins

Healthcare, Medical Care, Medicine /

Researchers found that adopting a 5:2 intermittent fasting regimen – consuming normally for five days and abstaining from food for two – shielded against liver inflammation and did not lead to weight gain. They also pinpointed the proteins responsible for this protective effect.
