Pregnancy Speeds Up Aging, Yet Postpartum Offers Surprising Reversal
New research has shown how pregnancy accelerates biological aging and how the postpartum period reverses this effect.

Understanding Antibiotic Sensitivity in Gut Microbes
The intricacies of how intestinal bacteria adapt to their environment have yet to be fully explored. Researchers have identified a small ribonucleic acid (sRNA) that affects the susceptibility of a gut pathogen to specific antibiotics.

Early Intervention Post-Seizure May Prevent Long-Term Epilepsy
According to research, an experimental treatment can prevent long-term changes to neurons seen in epilepsy if provided within the first two days after the first seizure.

Innovative Platform for Targeting Protein Stability in Disease Treatment
Using a newly created platform, researchers have interrogated the entire human proteome for "effector" proteins, which can influence the stability of other proteins via induced proximity. The scientists were able to identify many new effectors with possible therapeutic uses.

Researchers Uncover Protein Networks in Female Mouse Reproduction
Scientists have found that while a protein called FOXL2 plays a role in embryonic development, it regulates the activity of many more genes after birth.

“Junk Proteins” Associated With Cause of Aging and ALS Progression
CNIO researchers provide a new hypothesis to understand the origin of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. It would be triggered by a similar problem to that occurring in a group of rare diseases called ribosomopathies.

New Device Rapidly Isolates Blood Plasma for Diagnostics and Precision Medicine
Scientists have developed a coin-sized chip that can directly isolate blood plasma from a tube of blood in just 30 minutes, which is more convenient and user-friendly as compared to the current gold standard, multi-step centrifugation process.

Microgravity Triggers Change in Human Gene Expression Rhythms
Simulated effects of microgravity, created by 60 days of constant bed rest, severely disrupts rhythmic gene expression in humans, according to a new study from the University of Surrey.

Protein Found in Human Sweat May Protect Against Lyme Disease
Human sweat contains a protein that may protect against Lyme disease, according to a study. About one-third of the population carries a genetic variant of this protein that is associated with Lyme disease in genome-wide association studies.
