Scientists build a biosensor skin patch for noninvasive glucose monitoring. 

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.

Overall brain metabolic rate can distinguish between pathological states of human consciousness, a study shows.

Patients with neonatal progeroid syndrome lack a glucose-releasing hormone, while people with insulin resistance have an abundance.

Overeating and inactivity lead to insulin resistance in just days—and oxidative stress is to blame.

Glucose activates sleep-promoting neurons in the mouse hypothalamus.

The body’s circadian rhythm has more of an effect on glucose tolerance than one’s eating and sleeping patterns, a study shows.  

See human brains age in week-by-week time lapse images that divulge the existence of tiny strokes that damage white matter.

Research reveals how the brain changes as we age and hints at ways to slow the decline.

An inspiring lecturer turned Marcus Raichle’s focus from music and history to science. Since then, he has pioneered the use of imaging to study how our brains function.
