A new review has found that increasing the intake of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) during pregnancy reduces the risk of premature births.
The sight or smell of something delicious is often enough to get your mouth watering, but the physiological response to food perception may go well beyond your salivary glands. New research in mice sh..
Social jet lag — a syndrome related to the mismatch between the body's internal clock and the realities of our daily schedules — has been tied to obesity and other health problems. Now, researc..
Researchers have shown that so-called 'brown fat' interacts with the gut hormone secretin in mice to relay nutritional signals about fullness to the brain during a meal. The study bolsters o..
Mechanisms that govern HIV transcription and latency differ in the gut and blood, according to a new study. The findings could inform new therapies aimed at curing HIV.
Scientists are sharing a trove of data that will be critical for deciphering how a natural genetic variation shapes the immune system's ability to protect our health.
New research has identified rogue cells — namely brain and muscle cells — lurking within kidney organoids. Such cells make up only 10 to 20 percent of an organoid's cells, but their presence in..
Researchers have mapped the regions of the brain in mormyrid fish in extremely high detail. The new measurements can help illuminate longstanding questions in neuroanatomy. As brains get bigger, do al..
Which is better, a low-fat/high-carbohydrate diet or a high-fat/low-carbohydrate diet — or is it the type of fat that matters? In a new paper, researchers with diverse expertise and perspectives on t..
