Researchers have created the first systematic map illustrating how specific food molecules interact with unique gut bacteria. This study highlights the variability in dietary responses among individuals.

The discovery of a protein regulator of our circadian rhythm could offer a new way to treat jet lag and other disorders related to our body clock.

Researchers identified a new mechanism in the DNA damage response involving the long non-coding RNA NEAT1. Increased NEAT1 levels and methylation enhance the recognition of DNA damage.

In a study of identical twins, researchers have shown that a type of immune cell, CD8-positive T cells, plays a role in the early stages of the disease.

A study reveals that intestinal tuft cells can proliferate and survive radiation damage, acting as reserve stem cells that regenerate damaged intestinal tissue. Researchers demonstrated tuft cells' significant role in intestinal epithelium repair.

Researchers studied Arabidopsis thaliana to understand how plants maintain chromosome stability when the critical molecule DDM1 is absent. They discovered that transposons trigger RNA interference to restore centromere function.

A study demonstrates that human embryonic stem cell-derived retinal organoid sheets effectively closed macular holes in a monkey model. The transplantation promoted the survival and maturation of retinal tissue.

The first comprehensive map of the neural connections in the common fruit fly brain has been completed.

Single-cell RNA-seq datasets could lead to privacy violations through "linking attacks," where hackers can identify individuals' genetic and phenotypic information. This study highlights the need for stricter consent policies.

An array of nanopillars that can breach the nucleus of cells without damaging the membrane could open new possibilities in gene therapy.
