A genetic mapping study that links DNA variations to blood proteins could be used to identify risk factors for disease and could also offer insights into drug repurposing.

Scientists have looked at studies in animals and humans to identify how nutrition affects aging and healthy lifespans.

Researchers have demonstrated that TAK1, a protein that regulates innate immunity and proinflammatory signaling pathways, is indispensable for maintaining healthy neuromuscular junctions.

Researchers have used a refined microbiome “fingerprint” method to track sub-strain variants of a single gut microbe strain.

An enzyme variant can break down environment-throttling plastics that typically take centuries to degrade in just a matter of hours to days.

Age-related changes in strength and mobility may depend on genetic variations in a critical mitochondrial enzyme, suggests a study published in eLife.

Researchers set out to find new ways to artificially induce mRNA to respond in ways that could eventually lead to therapeutic outcomes, expanding on the success of the mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines.

Researchers have identified biomarkers that can differentiate between severe COVID-19 and preeclampsia in pregnancy, which could lead to a more accurate diagnosis for both diseases and a better risk assessment.

Analysis of the transcriptome of breast cancer cells has revealed significant changes to genes that could be used to determine the risk of cancer recurrence.

Researchers have shown that the positive effect of a calorie-reduced diet on the immune system is mediated by an altered gut microbiome, which slows down the deterioration of the immune system in old age.
