Sick of drinking water on the keto diet? Diet soda seems like the perfect solution. It’s sweet, it doesn’t have any added sugar, and the carb count is zero. But unfortunately, it’s not that simple.The artificial sweeteners used in place of sugar disrupt your metabolism and prompt sugar cravings, which can interfere with your progress if you drink diet soda on keto.Plus, although the jury is still out, artificial sweeteners have been linked to other health problems, like an increased risk of glucose intolerance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, according to a review published in the Indian Journal of Pharmacology.What…

CEO Eric Kelsic giving the opening remarks at Dyno GATC 2025 [Fay Lin] BOSTON – Artificial intelligence (AI) was one of the major themes at the recent Genetic Agency Technology Conference (GATC), hosted by Dyno Therapeutics, which took place in Boston earlier this week. A diverse group of researchers, technologists, and entrepreneurs came together to discuss the mission of “genetic agency,” which Dyno defines as “an individual’s ability to take action at the genetic level to live a healthier life.”   Additionally program highlights included powerful stories of patient advocacy from Sonia Vallabh, PhD, director of protein therapeutic science at the Broad Institute, Victoria Gray, the first sickle cell disease patient to undergo CRISPR…

Credit: JuSun / iStock / Getty Images Plus Research led by scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have identified sequence-level changes within short tandem repeats (STRs) that appear to influence phenotypic variation within diseases and helps explain why some treatments for diseases work better for some patients than others. The findings, published in Genome Biology, could have implications for the treatment of diseases known to be caused by tandem repeats including Huntington’s disease. “These changes in STR composition aren’t rare, they’re a normal part of human genetic diversity. This is a new dimension of genetic variation that’s been…

Scientists recently recovered and sequenced the oldest RNA ever from a 39,000-year-old woolly mammoth called Yuka, which has been on display in frozen conditions at the Yakutsk State Museum in Moscow since 2014.Image credit:Valeri PlotnikovScientists are consistently one-upping each other when it comes to finding the oldest molecules from fossils. The race even includes the notoriously fragile RNA. In a recent Cell study, researchers recovered and sequenced RNA from an extraordinarily preserved 39,000-year-old woolly mammoth called Yuka, which was discovered in the Siberian permafrost more than a decade ago.1 This sample was nearly three times older than the previous record…

The results indicated that participants taking the supplement showed beneficial shifts in microbial composition and diversity, demonstrating “significant modulation of the microbiome–gut–brain axis,” wrote researchers from Akay Natural Ingredients, who funded the study, and other institutions in India.“These findings support the potential of ASF as a safe and effective dietary supplement for gut and cognitive health in individuals with FD,” they added in the journal Medicine (Baltimore).Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a functional disorder of brain–gut interaction that affects approximately 8.4% of the global population. Bidirectional communication between the microbiome, gut, and brain has been investigated in many gastrointestinal disorders. Previous…

Be the first to rate & review! These Smashed Green Beans with Parmesan & Balsamic take a flavorful twist on a classic roasted side.

As China’s cities become taller, bigger and more modern, they face a major problem: the ground beneath them is sinking. A 2024 study1 found that nearly half of the land under the country’s major cities is subsiding at a “moderate” rate of more than 3 millimetres a year, and 16% is experiencing “rapid” sinking, meaning greater than 10 millimetres annually.Many of these cities, such as Tianjin, Fuzhou and Ningbo, are located by the sea. The issue of land subsidence is so pressing that the study projected that one in ten residents of the country’s coastal cities will be living below…
