Corrections have been made to table 1, supplementary table 5, and supplementary figures 3i, 3l, and 3m.

Despite its reputation, cheese is rich in nutrition and can be part of a healthy diet.Trader Joe’s offers a variety of soft, semi-hard and hard cheeses, making it easy to shop for any occasion.From their award-winning Unexpected Cheddar Cheese to their classic Brie, you won’t be disappointed. Cheese is a staple in many diets, and despite its impressive nutrition profile, it sometimes gets a bad reputation as “unhealthy.” However, in moderation, cheese can absolutely fit into a balanced diet. Plus, with so many types of cheese, there’s truly something for everyone.     “Other than [being] delicious, cheese is high in protein,…

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and University Hospital Basel have developed a realistic model of bone marrow engineered entirely from human cells. Derived using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) and macro-scale porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds, the engineered vascularized osteoblastic niche (eVON) model may become a valuable tool not only for blood cancer research, but also for drug testing and potentially for personalized therapies. The researchers suggest the novel system could reduce the need for animal experiments for…

During this time, she has seen growing threats to the food security, cultural practices and mental health of the Inuit and other northern Indigenous peoples. Inspired by her community connection with the people of Nunavut, Penney studies Inuit…

Many spatial biology researchers rely on two-dimensional tools, which section the cellular architecture and processes occurring within 3D tissues into flat layers. Three-dimensional multiomic analysis offers a more accurate and comprehensive view, illuminating the structural and molecular context of cellular behavior. The shift to 3D is opening new avenues in disease research, drug discovery, and systems biology.Todd Dickinson, PhD Chief Executive Officer StellaromicsIn this Innovation Spotlight, chief executive officer of Stellaromics Todd Dickinson discusses the company’s mission to enhance spatial biology research with the Pyxa™ platform. By providing a 3D view of cellular architecture in thick tissue samples, the technology…

When Kendall Toole left Peloton last summer, fans were stunned. She’d become one of the platform’s most beloved instructors, known for her energy and emotional honesty. But behind the scenes, Kendall was navigating something more complex than anyone realized: she’d outgrown the role she was playing.

If you’ve been putting off a root canal, you may want to schedule that appointment. That’s because new evidence suggests it could have protective health effects that go way beyond your mouth.A study found that successful root canal treatment was linked to improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation — all key factors in heart disease and diabetes risk.[1]“Our research shows that treating an infected tooth does far more than relieve pain. It can improve your overall health,” says lead author Sadia Niazi, PhD, a clinical lecturer in endodontology (the study of what’s inside of teeth) at King’s College London.Why Oral…

Credit: Roger Harris / Getty Images / Science Photo Library A new antibiotic called sorfequiline, a type of next generation diarylquinoline, has achieved good results for treating drug sensitive tuberculosis (TB) in combination with the antibiotics pretomanid and linezolid in a Phase II study. The trial results, which were presented at the by TB Alliance at the Union World Conference on Lung Health in Denmark this week, showed that the sorfequiline (also known as TBAJ-876) combination treatment performed better than a standard drug-sensitive TB combination treatment of isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol. Notably, the researchers also found sorfequiline had higher…
