Five years removed from the COVID-19 outbreak, scientists around the world are still studying its effects and, more importantly, ways those effects can be mitigated in the future. An international team of researchers may have just found a critical clue in the quest, and a laboratory at Texas Tech University played a key role. The … Read more
A new Weizmann Institute study identified all of the proteins in a stool sample – those from the microbiome, the human body and food – revealing the hidden secrets of the intestines and their impact on human disease If the organs in our bodies could talk, the intestines might be the ones to divulge the … Read more

Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic Genome Center have successfully applied advanced artificial intelligence (AI) genetics models to Parkinson’s disease. Researchers identified genetic factors in progression and FDA-approved drugs that can potentially be repurposed for PD treatment. The npj Parkinson’s Disease report uses an approach called “systems biology,” which uses AI to integrate and analyze multiple different forms of information from genetic, … Read more
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have published results that shed new light on an old question: what causes aging at the molecular level? Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe a never-before-seen link between the two most accepted explanations: random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic modifications. The latter, also known … Read more
Japanese Allergy Genes Unlock New Frontiers in Global Allergy Research Tokyo, Japan — A revolutionary study led by a consortium of international researchers has identified a unique genetic blueprint linked to allergic sensitization in both Japanese and European populations, marking a significant breakthrough in our understanding of this global health concern. The findings, published in … Read more
Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer. Led by Professor Gary Ying Wai CHAN from the School of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Science, and Professor Ken Hoi Tang MA from the … Read more
Humans are continuously exposed to various environmental allergens (antigens), such as pollen, food, and dust mites. In certain individuals, their immune system recognizes common environmental antigens as foreign substances, resulting in the production of allergy-related antibodies known as immunoglobulin E (IgE). This condition, wherein IgE antibodies specific to common environmental allergens are produced in the … Read more
The androgen clock is rewriting the science of aging, offering a precise way to measure hormone exposure and its profound effects on health, longevity, and biology. Study: The androgen clock is an epigenetic predictor of long-term male hormone exposure.
