Yogurt is a great source of high-quality protein, with some options having up to 25 grams per serving.High-protein yogurts are usually strained, use ultra-filtered milk or contain whey or plant-based protein.Choose yogurts with little to no added sugar—ideally less than 3 grams per serving. Yogurt is one of those foods that can truly do it all. Enjoy it on its own as a high-protein snack, pair it with sweet or savory foods, or use it as a creamy base in smoothies and dips. It doesn’t stop there—yogurt is full of gut-friendly probiotics, essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D and,…

CRISPR powers everything from gene editing to rapid diagnostics, but how did one of its most versatile branches arise? A new Cell study, “Functional RNA splitting drove the evolutionary emergence of type V CRISPR-Cas systems from transposons,” shows that an RNA-splitting event transformed transposons into Type V Cas12 immune systems. Long before CRISPR became a clinical staple, it was a routine tool for microbiologists—workhorse enough to slip into undergraduate yeast labs and powerful enough to rewire entire genomes. In the decade since those early demonstrations, CRISPR technologies have revolutionized basic research and medicine. Scientists now use them to correct disease-causing…
The doctors’ union the BMA has given the health secretary, Wes Streeting, until Wednesday 1 October to prevent a formal dispute over plans to allow patients to make unlimited online consultation requests.From the first of next month, patients will be able to make online requests for appointments, as well as medication and administrative queries, to GP surgeries from 8 am to 6 30 pm, Monday to Friday.

The next will look at what doctoral candidates wish they’d known when they set out on their degrees. The survey, created in partnership with Thinks Insight & Strategy, a research consultancy based in London, launched in May and was advertised on nature.com, in Springer Nature digital products and through e-mail campaigns. It had 3,785 self-selecting respondents across 107 countries, with 44% describing themselves as female, 25% as belonging to an ethnic minority in their country of study and 33% as studying…
Credit: selvanegra/GettyImages A new study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers what they describe as one of the most detailed molecular maps to date of how brain cells fail to communicate in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), identifying a protein network that provides an important new target for future treatments. The research, published in Cell, found that in AD glial cells become overactive and neurons exhibit decreased functionality leading to increased inflammation and the accumulation of toxic proteins in the brain. “Alzheimer’s is not just about plaque buildup or dying neurons; it’s about how the…
