A study in the journal Genes highlights how a leaky gut can lead to depressive disorders through changes in gut microbiota-derived metabolites, emphasizing the role of diet, environmental factors, and probiotics in managing these conditions.

Study explores the production of nisin protein in transgenic carrots, demonstrating its potential as a natural preservative effective against bacterial pathogens in food and juices.

Study reveals that cinnamon extract significantly inhibits adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation, offering potential benefits against obesity by reducing fat production and enhancing lipolysis in both cell models and mice.

A new landmark study involving 281 elite athletes from Australia and Belgium has revealed one in six have measures that would normally suggest reduced heart function.

Researchers examined the differences in circadian biology between the ancestors of modern humans and the archaic hominins such as Denisovans and Neanderthals and the contribution of archaic introgression in human chronotypes by using genomes to trace chronotype evolution from archaic hominins to modern-day humans.

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.

Researchers investigated the association between cellular damage, iron buildup, senescence, and fibrosis.

In a recent study published in Frontiers in Plant Science, researchers presented the assembly of the chia reference genome.

Colorectal cancer presents with varying clinical characteristics due to tumor heterogeneity. Microsatellite instability (MSI), present in 10%-15% of CRC cases, indicates a different clinical trajectory than microsatellite stable (MSS) patients.
