A UC Riverside study to motivate your new year's resolutions: it demonstrates that high-fat diets affect genes linked not only to obesity, colon cancer and irritable bowels, but also to the immune system, brain function, and potentially COVID-19 risk.

More on gene therapy: Scientists Create Gene-hacked Monkey That Glowed Green

Study reveals that gut microbiota from individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD) can induce social fear behaviors in mice, suggesting a causal role of gut microbes in modulating behaviors relevant to SAD.

Just like a doctor adjusts the dose of a medication to the patient's needs, the expression of therapeutic genes, those modified in a person to treat or cure a disease via gene therapy, also needs to be maintained within a therapeutic window.

Particulate matter causes health problems for those who inhale the fine droplets and particles, but the chemical composition of the mixture matters-;and can vary widely across space and time.

Anxiety disorders (ADs) affect more than 280 million people worldwide, making them one of the most common mental health conditions. ADs have a genetic basis as seen from inheritance in families, and people with one subtype of AD tend to have another subtype, suggesting a shared genetic basis.

A new research paper was published on the cover of Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 23, entitled, "Uncovering a unique pathogenic mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant: selective induction of cellular senescence."

A study in Nature Cardiovascular Research identifies two new genetic loci associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC), a key indicator of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers-;only about one in eight patients survives five years after diagnosis.

How animals recognize themselves visually is rarely studied and is poorly understood. But new research has revealed that mice demonstrate a form of self-recognition known as mirror-stimulated self-directed actions.
