A study published in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatology has provided new evidence gut bacteria plays a role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis. The research suggests an abnormal immune response to a relatively common species of gut bacteria c… Continue reading New evidence linking gut bacteria with rheumatoid arthritis development
New variant modeling from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates emerging Omicron subvariants BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 now account for more than 10 percent of all infections in the United States. Scientists predict these rapidly sprea… Continue reading CDC modeling reports new Omicron BQ variants rapidly spreading in US
Compelling new research from the University of Oxford has homed in on a specific genetic variant that seems to play a significant role in how well people generate an immune response to COVID-19 vaccines and their chances of experiencing a breakthrough … Continue reading Unique study links specific gene variant to COVID vaccine efficacy
A pair of new studies published in the journal Cell have reported on unexpected ways pain-sensing neurons in the gut can serve as more than just sensory alarm systems. The research suggests these neurons also can directly protect the gut from inflammat… Continue reading Studies uncover anti-inflammatory role of pain-sensing gut neurons
A new study has shed light on how an experimental drug can reverse some of the neural damage associated with traumatic brain injury. The findings lay the groundwork for a future drug that could potentially prevent the cognitive deficits that follow on … Continue reading Experimental drug reverses damage from concussion
The results of the world’s largest ever gene study have been published, revealing almost all the genetic variants that influence a person’s height. The study involved analyzing DNA from more than five million people and ultimately homed in on 12,000 va… Continue reading Milestone study answers genetic mysteries of human height
A new paper published in the journal Oceanography speculates future global food production problems could be solved by growing protein-dense microalgae in coastal aquaculture farms. The modeling boldly projects 100% of global protein demands could be p… Continue reading Coastal algae farms proposed as solution to future food crisis
New research indicates exposure to low levels of a flavoring chemical called diacetyl in combination with a mild case of influenza can cause serious lung damage. The findings, in mice, suggest those with occupational exposure to the chemical should be … Continue reading How exposure to artificial butter flavor when sick may cause lung damage
