Researchers from Michigan Technological University have demonstrated the potential of tears to asses the level of vitamins in the body.

Scientists have developed a urine test that measures the health of a person's diet. The five-minute test measures biological markers in urine created by the breakdown of foods such as red meat, chicken, fish and fruit and vegetables.

New research by scientists at the University of California, Riverside now shows that chronic consumption of a western diet leads to overeating and obesity due to elevations in peripheral endocannabinoid signaling.

Using X-rays to visualize DNA and fluorescence to monitor the histone proteins, Cornell researchers found that the release of histone proteins is guided by unwrapping DNA.

Investigators at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Florida have identified a key molecule that, in mice, helps protect the body’s central nervous system against the runaway inflammation.

UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a protein that is central to the immune system’s ability to recognize and destroy the bacterium responsible for the global tuberculosis epidemic.

Researchers at the RIKEN-Max Planck Joint Research Center for Systems Chemical Biology in Japan have discovered an enzyme that can prevent obesity in mice.
