New research led by a team of scientists in Canada has demonstrated how a high-fat diet can disrupt levels of an intestinal immune cell known to help regulate microbial populations in the gut. The study describes how low levels of this molecu… Continue reading Study finds key gut immune molecule links obesity, the microbiome, and metabolic disorders
Two new autism detection methods are promising to offer clinicians objective diagnostic tools that are not based on subjective behavioral assessments. Both systems are in early stages of clinical verification, so not quite ready for prime tim… Continue reading Two new autism diagnostic tools offer objective ways to detect the condition
A team of US scientists is embarking on an immense project to catalog all the genes in the collective human microbiome. In the team’s first published study an astounding 46 million genes have been chronicled from just 3,500 human microbiome s… Continue reading More genes in the human microbiome than stars in the observable universe
We’ve seen a number of recent improvements to the CRISPR gene editing method, from enhanced precision to novel techniques to block the process. But despite all these innovations, the technique is generally only able to modify one single gene … Continue reading CRISPR breakthrough allows scientists to edit multiple genes simultaneously
New research, led by a team of scientists from the University of Cambridge, has demonstrated a way to rejuvenate old, dysfunctional brain stem cells, making them act young again. The technique points to potential new treatments for multiple s… Continue reading Cambridge study reverses aging of key brain stem cells in rodents
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is, not for the first time, warning the general public to avoid consuming a product called Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS). Despite over a decade of health warnings and cases of death, the sham product, wh… Continue reading Miracle Mineral Solution, aka industrial bleach, is no autism cure, FDA warns
The results from a Phase 1 trial into the safety of a landmark chlamydia vaccine have just been published demonstrating promising signs the treatment is safe, and potentially effective in preventing the most common bacterial sexually transmit… Continue reading Landmark chlamydia vaccine passes first stage of human trials
A randomized clinical trial taking place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been terminated early due to the extraordinary success of two drugs being investigated to treat the Ebola virus. Four new treatments were being tested in the… Continue reading Ebola virus is no longer incurable, Congo trial reports over 90 percent success
Researchers from the University of California, Riverside, have offered new evidence suggesting dysfunction in the lysosome system, our body’s cellular garbage disposal mechanism, could be the underlying cause of Alzheimer’s disease. The hypothesis is not entirely novel but the research describes a newly discovered process to explain how lysosomal failure can lead to neurodegenerative disease.

A new study has discovered a previously unidentified mechanism explaining how obesity and high-fat diets can disrupt the appetite-suppressing signals from the brain and lead to overeating. The fascinating research revealed a hormone in the gu… Continue reading New discovery explains how fatty food disrupts appetite control, causing obesity
