Mysterious cells that secrete hormones in the large intestine play a key role in regulating body weight through their relationship with intestinal bacteria, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers suggests. Their findings, published in Nature Metabolism, could lead to new treatments for obesity and extreme weight loss.
UC San Diego School of Medicine part of $50M initiative to use predictive AI to help fight opioid abuse.
A pivotal study has pinpointed a novel bHLH gene, MabHLH28, as a key regulator of banana fruit ripening. This gene significantly influences the softening process by upregulating the expression of softening-related genes, either independently or in synergy with MaWRKY49/111.
A pivotal study reveals how auxin and sucrose metabolism regulate bulbil initiation in Lilium lancifolium. By manipulating auxin levels and examining key sucrose metabolism genes, researchers found that low auxin concentrations enhance bulbil formation.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that pregnant people who took ADHD medications while also being treated for opioid use disorder continued to take medication to address their opioid use disorder about two months longer than patients who stopped taking ADHD medications. These patients also required fewer emergency room visits related to substance use disorder.
Revealing the genetic secrets of tree peony buds' seasonal revival, a crucial study has illuminated the role of the PsmiR159b-PsMYB65 module in steering the cellular mechanisms that dictate the shift from winter slumber to springtime sprouting, pioneering novel pathways in botanical research and gardening techniques.
The small footprint and dim light of white dwarfs, remnants of stars that have burned through their fuel, may make excellent backdrops for studying planets with enough water to harbor life. The trick is spotting the shadow of a planet against a former star that has withered to a fraction of its size and finding that it’s a planet that has kept its water oceans for billions of years even after riding out the star’s explosive and violent final throes. A new study of the dynamics of white dwarf systems suggests that, in theory, some watery planets may indeed thread the celestial needles necessary to await discovery and closer scrutiny.
Flu vaccination mandates for hospital staff have increased in recent years, especially at hospitals serving veterans, the latest in a series of surveys shows.
Genome analysis of over 800 polar and grizzly bears reveals no new hybrids and confirms the eight previously-known “grolar bears”
For the first time, a multi-disciplinary team of scientists analyzes sea ice thickness against polar bear and seal survival across all of Hudson Bay; due to faster-than-expected sea ice loss, scientists predict localized polar bear extinction if Paris Agreements are not met
