Scientists in Japan have discovered that a natural compound found in a type of ginger called kencur can throw cancer cells into disarray by disrupting how they generate energy. While healthy cells use oxygen to make energy efficiently, cancer cells often rely on a backup method. This ginger-derived molecule doesn t attack that method directly it shuts down the cells' fat-making machinery instead, which surprisingly causes the cells to ramp up their backup system even more.

Acetaminophen may be doing more than just dulling pain in your brain it could be stopping it before it even starts. Scientists at Hebrew University have discovered that a metabolite of the drug, AM404, blocks pain signals right at their source by shutting down specific sodium channels in pain-sensing nerves. This radically shifts our understanding of how this common medication works and opens a door to new, more targeted painkillers that might eliminate side effects like numbness or weakness.

A team of scientists has identified specialized neurons in the brain that store "meal memories" detailed recollections of when and what we eat. These engrams, found in the ventral hippocampus, help regulate eating behavior by communicating with hunger-related areas of the brain. When these memory traces are impaired due to distraction, brain injury, or memory disorders individuals are more likely to overeat because they can't recall recent meals.

A team of scientists has discovered a direct link between the smell of food and feelings of fullness at least in lean mice. This brain circuit, located in the medial septum and triggered by food odors, helps animals eat less by making them feel satiated even before taking a bite. But intriguingly, obese mice lacked this response, highlighting how excess weight may interfere with this satiety mechanism.

We examined the quinolinequinones' ( QQ1- 7 ) effects on cancer cell lines. The most potent compound was QQ1 against ACHN cells with an IC50 value of 1.5 ± 0.16 μM. For better understanding, the effects of QQ1 on apoptosis, cell cycle, and oxidative stress were investigated. QQ1 inhibited ACHN cell proliferation via cell cycle arrest. The host-guest interactions of quinolinequinones were also studied in detail using thorough in silico docking simulations with pharmacokinetic studies.
