Breast milk gives certain gut bacteria a head start

Breast milk helps shape the gut microbiota for longer than previously thought. Researchers from DTU and Rigshospitalet have discovered that sugars in breast milk, which are nondigestible by the infant—so-called human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs)—influence which bacteria thrive in

Rare aging disorder links 'biological clock' to disease

Scientists have discovered a rare genetic condition that causes people to age at a much faster rate, offering fresh insights into the aging process. The study shows for the first time how a "biological clock" present in every cell of the body could contribute to age-related disea

African genetic data could change how essential medicines are prescribed

The dosage information for drugs used in HIV treatment, malaria, cancer care, pain management and transplantation is largely based on data from European patients and fails to include vital information about how essential drugs work in diverse African populations. A Wits-led polic

Elucidating a decades-old mystery of blood clotting

Why is it rare for dangerous blood clots to form in our blood? What happens if this safety mechanism fails? An international team of researchers involving the University of Greifswald has taken a major step toward finding the answer to this central medical question. The results w
