Compared to their pre-trial microbiome, men who drank either one alcoholic or non-alcoholic lager daily had a more diverse set of gut microbes, which can reduce the risk for some diseases.

According to a study, a diet supplemented with or deficient in methionine affects the expression of genes associated with liver cell fat metabolism and genes that modify chromatin, the fibers that form chromosomes in cells.

While we continue to fight the pandemic of the present – COVID-19 – scientists are using modern technologies to uncover new findings about the pandemics of the past. A new study published in Nature outlines the use of ancient DNA analysis to uncover the history of the Black Death.

A new study has analyzed the diverse ancestries of people living in the UK. This knowledge has the potential to inform future health research on genetic factors leading to disease.

DNA folded into complex shapes that could be used to deliver medicine or create vaccines has been reported to be safe in mice.

Embryonic and fossil evidence proves that the human middle ear evolved from the spiracle of fishes. However, the origin of the vertebrate spiracle has long been an unsolved mystery in vertebrate evolution. Now, researchers have found clues to this mystery from armored galeaspid fossils in China.

Preliminary findings from a new study involving more than 6,000 adults found that taste-related genes may play a role in determining food choices and could, in turn, influence cardiometabolic health.

An eight-year experiment has found that soil microbial biodiversity is negatively affected by the warming climate.

Scientists have tested and confirmed a protocol for growing human embryonic stem cells into retina cells to treat eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration.
