Ancient DNA traces multiple sclerosis origins to 5,000-year-old migrations

Researchers have created the world’s largest ancient human gene bank by analyzing the bones and teeth of almost 5,000 humans who lived across Western Europe and Asia up to 34,000 years ago. By sequencing ancient human DNA and comparing it to modern-day samples, the international team of experts mapped the historical spread of genes – […]

Protective genetic variant shields Black Americans from kidney disease risk

Many Black Americans who are thought to have a high risk of developing kidney disease possess a protective genetic variant that nullifies the extra risk, a new study from Columbia researchers has found. The study found that high-risk people who carry this variant have a risk of developing kidney disease much closer to that of […]

SECRE technique paves way for new therapeutics for autoimmune diseases

Scientists have developed a potentially transformative new technique that could aid in the discovery and development of new therapeutics for a number of globally prevalent autoimmune diseases. Conditions such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) – as well as failures within transplanted cells – are all caused by altered cytokine secretion of […]

Fermented foods may have fueled human brain growth, new evolutionary theory proposes

In a review published in the journal Communications Biology, researchers in the United States of America described the potential role and benefits of externally fermented foods in triggering the expansion of the hominid brain. They further discussed the explanatory power of their “external fermentation hypothesis” and surveyed relevant food practices across human cultures. Image Credit: Busker909 / […]

High dietary insulin index associated with increased risk of metabolic unhealthiness, research show

A recent Scientific Reports study explored the association between dietary insulin index (DII) and dietary insulin load (DIL) with metabolic healthy (MH) status and the serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and adropin among the Iranian adult population. Study: Association between dietary insulin index and load with brain derived neurotrophic factor, adropin and metabolic health status […]

Nut consumption linked to improved male fertility, systematic review reveals

In a recent systematic review published in the journal Advances in Nutrition, researchers investigated the associations between nut consumption and fertility outcomes in human adults. Literature from four online scientific databases was collated and subjected to a meta-analysis. Following the full-text screening, four publications comprising 875 participants were included. Study findings revealed that consuming ≥ […]

Study unveils complex admixture in European ancestry populations

A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications provides evidence of subcontinental admixture in people with European ancestry, in contrast to previous genetic association studies that recognize European ancestry populations as stratified and not as admixed.   Study: Unappreciated subcontinental admixture in Europeans and European Americans and implications for genetic epidemiology studies.
