Now I have a full-time job and I’m enjoying it. It turns out it wasn’t meditation or bone broth cleanses that cured my laziness. It was in my…

ACS-20 is a key mediator of DR-induced lifespan and healthspan extensionTo characterize the roles of lipid metabolism in the anti-ageing effect of DR, we performed an RNAi-based genetic screen of 21 acyl-CoA synthetase (acs) genes for their effects on lifespan under DR conditions in C. elegans. Compared to the control RNAi, the acs-20 RNAi treatment most significantly suppresses the prolonged longevity by DR (Supplementary Fig. 1). acs-20 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the fatty acid transporter 4 (FATP4), mutations in which leads to abnormal lipid metabolism in the epidermis and disease such as ichthyosis prematurity syndrome (IPS) in mammals21,22. In…

Introduction Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) significantly impacts women in their reproductive years (1). This condition is marked by chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism. Alarmingly, nearly 40% of women with PCOS also suffer from insulin resistance (IR) (2). Obesity intensifies both the reproductive and metabolic challenges tied to PCOS. Between 35 and 60% of obese women with PCOS display a connection between the pathological mechanisms of IR and PCOS (3, 4). Additionally, weight gain can heighten IR (5). Research indicates that weight loss can effectively diminish androgen levels in PCOS patients while enhancing glucose and lipid metabolism (6). Standard PCOS treatments often…

Introduction Pain is one of the most common and challenging symptoms to treat in the cancer population (1–3). While opioids and other analgesic medications are cornerstones of cancer pain management, opioid use may be associated with adverse outcomes in cancer populations (4, 5). There is also a growing concern about polypharmacy in oncology (6, 7), highlighting the need for non-pharmacological pain treatment options. In 2022, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) published a joint guideline recommending the use of acupuncture for cancer pain management (8). However, patient-, provider-, and system-related factors may…
