The journey to uncover potential treatments for an ultra-rare human disease, XMEA (X-linked myopathy with excessive autophagy), has taken an unexpected dive into the world of zebrafish. This seemingly incongruous pairing is an illustration of the powerful intersection between genetics, innovative disease modeling, and the surprising utility of a common aquarium dweller. A team led […]

Intermittent fasting has gained popularity for its potential health benefits, including triggering autophagy—a process where cells remove dysfunctional components to promote cellular renewal. A recent simulation study delves into the extreme impact of fasting for 36 hours on the body, shedding light on the physiological changes that occur during prolonged periods of calorie restriction. This […]

Fasting for 72 hours triggers a body reset, leading to the process of autophagy. As you approach the end of the fast, it is recommended to gradually reintroduce food to maintain the benefits gained. The positive effects of the fast are believed to extend beyond the fasting period, influencing your body’s functions even after resuming […]
