When consumed for as little as two weeks, common alternatives to sugar affect intestinal bacterial communities, with some reducing the body’s ability to regulate blood glucose levels, a study finds.

A sugar that’s less abundant in the blood of people with diabetes binds to SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein and disrupts the virus’s ability to fuse with cells.  

Signals from sweeteners and sugars are relayed from the gut to the brain by different neural pathways, a new study concludes.

Researchers study obesity by assessing ghrelin levels in biological samples.

His work centered on the mechanisms of glucose transport into cells.

By studying influenza in mice and cells, researchers identify a glucose metabolism pathway critical to the dysregulated immune response that kills many infectious disease patients, including those with COVID-19.

Timekeepers in muscle help mediate metabolism, and may influence neurological processes such as sleep.

Scientists build a biosensor skin patch for noninvasive glucose monitoring. 

Emerging technologies help researchers draw mechanistic links between metabolism and epigenetic modification of DNA.

A needle-free alternative to the finger-prick test would be a godsend for many sufferers of diabetes, but the industry has yet to clear the technological hurdles.

Scientists designed autonomous nanovesicles capable of following glucose concentration gradients, even through the blood brain barrier in rats.
