Ketogenic diet may boost type 2 diabetes remission

A 12‑week randomized trial in 51 adults aged 55‑62 compared a high‑fat, low‑carb ketogenic diet with a low‑fat diet. Both groups lost weight, but the keto group experienced a greater decline in proinsulin levels, suggesting improved beta‑cell function and a higher likelihood of diabetes remission.

Reprogrammed Cardiomyocytes Soften the Blow in Heart Attack

Reprogrammed Cardiomyocytes Soften the Blow in Heart Attack

A recent study published in the Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology demonstrates that partial reprogramming of mouse cardiomyocytes with three Yamanaka factors (OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 – OSK) enables the cells to complete cytokinesis after a heart attack. By dismantling mature sarcomere structures, OSK shifts adult heart cells toward an embryonic phenotype, allowing more successful cell division without the oncogenic risk of c‑Myc. In vivo, OSK‑treated adult mice showed higher ejection fractions, reduced fibrosis, and increased new cardiomyocytes near the infarct zone. However, prolonged OSK exposure in newborn mice caused dilated cardiomyopathy, highlighting the need for precise timing.
