Study identified that several specific bacterial species were significantly associated with colorectal cancer, challenging previous assumptions about established biomarkers once adjusted for important covariates.

Study found that exoglycosidases from Akkermansia muciniphila effectively target blood group antigens, potentially converting A and B blood types to ABO-universal blood.

A recent study led by UC Davis Health researchers provides new insights into the molecular changes linked to the rare genetic condition 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, or 22q.

Study found that both lifestyle and genetic factors independently influence lifespan, but a healthy lifestyle can reduce the impact of genetic predispositions toward a shorter life.

Nonsense-mediated RNA decay, or NMD, is an evolutionarily conserved molecular mechanism in which potentially defective messenger RNAs, or mRNAs (genetic material that instructs the body on how to make proteins), are degraded.

Psilocybin - the active ingredient in "magic" mushrooms - is a more effective treatment for symptoms of depression than controls, providing further support for its potential as an antidepressant, suggests a study published by The BMJ today.
