Uncovering gene-based clues to how disrupted healing in stomach cells increases cancer ris

Few areas of the body face more daily stress and potential damage than the stomach, which must manage everything we swallow. Along with this constant strain, the stomach also produces acid that can damage its own lining and increase the risk of ulcers.

Mapping the risk factors for mother-infant bonding disorder

Mother-to-infant bonding difficulties (MIBD) are commonly associated with postnatal depression. MIBD has been linked to developmental delays and child abuse. Researchers found that about half of MIBD cases in Japan involve mothers who did not experience postpartum depression. Dif

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

Growing evidence shows sugar substitutes disrupt gut health and metabolism

Since the first introduction of saccharin, an array of artificial and other non-nutritive (i.e., low-calorie or calorie-free) sweeteners have become ubiquitous in the U.S. food supply. However, a growing body of research suggests that these compounds are not inert in the body and

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
