Mouse Study Shows Links Between Sleep Disturbances and Gut Microbiota
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic sleep condition affecting more than one billion people worldwide. Researchers have discovered how OSA-related sleep disturbances affect the gut microbiome in mice and how transplanting those gut bacteria into other mice can cause changes to sleep patterns in the recipient mice.

Researchers Develop New Method To Print Tiny, Functional Organs
Researchers at EPFL have developed an approach to print tiny tissues that look and function almost like their full-sized counterpart. Measuring just a few centimeters across, the mini-tissues could allow scientists to study biological processes—and even test new treatment approaches—in ways that were previously not possible.
