A heart-healthy eating pattern called the MIND diet was associated with a slightly reduced risk of cognitive decline or impairment. The findings hint that eating healthy foods—like green leafy vegetables, berries, fish, whole grains, beans, and nuts—might play a role in protecting cognitive health. https://bit.ly/3U5mWjm #diet #nutrition #MINDdiet #research #science #NIH

“Weekend warriors,” who fit most of their physical activity into just one or two days a week, may gain the same health benefits as people who spread their activity throughout the week. An NIH-supported study found that getting at least 150 minutes of exercise a week—whether in a couple of days or over several days—reduced the risk of developing over 250 different health problems. https://bit.ly/3TYoOug #PhysicalActivity #exercise #research #science #NIH

It’s with a heavy heart that I share the news that our dear colleague Dr. John Gallin has passed away. He was the longest-serving director of the NIH Clinical Center (CC). With a 50+ year career at NIH, he leaves an incredible legacy that lives on in the important work at the NIH Clinical Center and in generations of clinician-scientists. I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues. https://lnkd.in/eXx3r9JT

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare bleeding disorder with no approved treatments. Now, an NIH-supported clinical trial has shown that a drug used to treat bone marrow cancer is also safe and effective in treating HHT.

Congratulations to the 2024 recipients of The Nobel Prize in Chemistry, Drs. David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper! NIH is honored to have supported the research of Dr. David Baker (UW Medicine), who received half of the prize for his computational protein design work. His accomplishments in creating new kinds of proteins that can be used as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, nanomaterials or tiny sensors is an incredible example of the value of taxpayer investment in NIH-funded research.

BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.” The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2024 is about proteins, life’s ingenious chemical tools. David Baker has succeeded with the almost impossible feat of building entirely new kinds of proteins. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper have developed an AI model to solve a 50-year-old problem: predicting proteins’ complex structures. These discoveries hold enormous potential. The diversity of life testifies to proteins’ amazing capacity as chemical tools. They control and drive all the chemical reactions that together are the basis of life. Proteins also function as hormones, signal substances, antibodies and the building blocks of different tissues. Proteins generally consist of 20 different amino acids, which can be described as life’s building blocks. In 2003, David Baker succeeded in using these blocks to design a new protein that was unlike any other protein. Since then, his research group has produced one imaginative protein creation after another, including proteins that can be used as pharmaceuticals, vaccines, nanomaterials and tiny sensors. The second discovery concerns the prediction of protein structures. In proteins, amino acids are linked together in long strings that fold up to make a three-dimensional structure, which is decisive for the protein’s function. Since the 1970s, researchers had tried to predict protein structures from amino acid sequences, but this was notoriously difficult. However, four years ago, there was a stunning breakthrough. In 2020, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold2. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified. Since their breakthrough, AlphaFold2 has been used by more than two million people from 190 countries. Among a myriad of scientific applications, researchers can now better understand antibiotic resistance and create images of enzymes that can decompose plastic. Life could not exist without proteins. That we can now predict protein structures and design our own proteins confers the greatest benefit to humankind.
