Eggs are a staple in many kitchens, and for good reason. You can find scrambled eggs at any continental breakfast buffet, hard-boiled eggs at a mini mart as a grab-and-go snack or fried eggs topping toast smeared with avocado.

However, they aren’t the only protein option for breakfasts, snacks and beyond. You may be surprised to find out that several nut and seed butters have even more protein per serving than…

The ongoing shortage of organs has led researchers to look to alternatives for those in need of transplants. Indeed, only 3% of Americans with late-stage kidney disease receive a transplant each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). To boost the supply of available organs, the use of genetically modified pig kidneys has been explored.

To better understand the immune mechanisms behind xenotransplant rejection, a new investigation explored the transplantation of…
