As innovations in CRISPR/Cas, excision technologies, and metabolic pathway optimization advance, edible mushrooms could become self-contained biofactories that express, encapsulate, and deliver therapeutic proteins directly through oral routesoffering a sustainable, low-cost alternative to conventional injectable biologics

Why the ADHD Brain May Respond Differently to Incretin Signals Researchers are still working to understand how incretin signaling may relate to ADHD
Studies have shown (13) that GLP-1R is expressed in normal pancreatic islet, acinar and duct cells, and Waser (83) reported that GLP-1R is highly expressed in normal pancreatic secretory cells, expressed at low level in pancreatic acinar cells, not expressed in pancreatic duct cells, and expressed at low or no levels in human pancreatic cancer tissues
