Worm Study Explores How Diet Controls RNA Maturation
Researchers have focused on a specific type of chemical modification – called methylation – of mRNA molecules in the small worm Caenorhabditis elegans. They found that methylation on a particular sequence of an mRNA leads to its degradation and that this control mechanism depends on the worm’s diet.

Changes to Common Probiotic Could Help Infants With Gut Issues
Researchers have created a strain of the common probiotic Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG that is able to utilize both lactose and casein as well as reproduce in dairy products. This would make it unnecessary to add the probiotic to dairy products separately and could fare better in the intestine, boosting gut health.
