Cell Host & Microbe, the findings generate invaluable insight into how gut microbes break down processed foods and lower the risk of health conditions often associated with those foods, such as obesity and diabetes. Microbes mitigate the effects of processed foods When food is processed or cooked at high temperatures, a chemical reaction between amino acids and sugars leads to the formation of chemicals known as Maillard Reaction Products (MRPs). Depending on how the food was processed, MRPs...

Scientists publish new analysis of most diverse genetic data set Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) and their colleagues published a new analysis today in the journal Nature from genetic sequencing data of more than 53,000 individuals, primarily from minority populations. The early analysis, part of a large-scale program funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, examines one of the largest and most diverse data sets of high-quality whole genome ...

Integrative Approaches to Identifying Function and Significance of Adiposity Susceptibility Genes In 2019, ~100 million Americans were obese, fueling increases in obesity-related morbidity, mortality, and health care costs, largely from cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). GWAS have demonstrated the fundamental role of genetic susceptibility in obesity risk, including the >1000 loci identified to date. Each GWAS-identified locus potentially provides novel biologic insight; yet the identification of ...

Eric Lander Illustration: Alex Hogan/STAT; Photo: AP WASHINGTON — Joe Biden’s presence at meetings of the Obama administration’s scientific advisory council sometimes tested his staff’s patience. It wasn’t that the vice president was unwelcome, of course. It was that Biden’s tendency to linger long after the meetings ended invariably caused scheduling hiccups. From his seat across the table from Eric Lander, then the council’s co-chair, Biden would pepper the gro...

Dr. Amir Barzin, the medical director at the Family Medicine Center at Chapel Hill, said an error on the HallPass website may have caused the influx of students at two of UNC’s testing sites on Tuesday.

Genes offering insights into Taiwanese Han health identified: study 01/18/2021 10:13 PM Photo courtesy of National Yang-Ming University Taipei, Jan. 18 (CNA) A Taipei university has identified five key genes that provide critical insights for understanding the evolutionary history and adaption of the majority Han population in Taiwan and its susceptibility to different diseases. The five genes identified by National Yang-Ming University (NYMU) were CTNNA2 (Catenin Alpha 2) and LRP1B (LDL Recept...
