Root Canal Might Lower Heart Disease and Diabetes Risk: What You Need to Know
New Evidence Links Dental Health to Chronic Disease Risk Emerging research is shedding light on how dental wellness goes beyond a bright smile. A growing body of evidence suggests that root canal treatment, traditionally viewed as a tooth-saving procedure, may also reduce the risk of systemic conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.…

New Drug Could Prevent Diabetes Complications Beyond Blood Sugar
Summary: A potential breakthrough in diabetes care A new experimental drug compound may help prevent and treat some of the most challenging complications of diabetes—such as impaired wound healing and widespread inflammation—by acting independently of blood sugar levels. Researchers conducted tests in mice and human cell models, and early results suggest the drug could complement…

A New Drug Shows Promise in Preventing Diabetes Complications Beyond Blood Sugar Control
Overview: A potential breakthrough beyond glucose management Diabetes management traditionally centers on controlling blood sugar to prevent complications. Yet many patients still face issues such as slow wound healing and chronic inflammation even when their glucose is well managed. A new study, conducted in mice and on human cells, suggests that an experimental drug could…

Multi-System Biomarkers for Suicide Risk in MDD: Erythroid, Inflammation, and Metabolism
Introduction: The Need for Multi-System Biomarkers in MDD Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) remains a leading cause of disability worldwide, with suicide risk representing a critical and urgent challenge for clinicians. Traditional risk assessment often relies on clinical history and self-reported symptoms, which can miss biologically meaningful signals. Emerging research points to a multi-system model of…

Multi-system Biomarkers for Suicide Risk in Major Depressive Disorder: Erythroid, Inflammatory, and Metabolic Integration
Introduction: The Need for Multi-system Biomarkers in MDD Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) remains a leading cause of disability worldwide, with suicide risk representing a critical and urgent concern. Traditional risk assessment relies heavily on clinical history and self-reported symptoms, which can fail to capture dynamic biological processes that contribute to suicidality. Emerging evidence suggests that…
