Childhood trauma can have lasting impacts on the brain, influencing everything from mental health to how genes function. Scientists have been studying this for years, but a new study takes a closer look at how these experiences affect the brain's gene activity. The study focused on the prefrontal cortex, a part of the brain involved in decision-making and emotional ...

The offspring of mothers with gestational diabetes often face long-term health challenges. These include problems with their skeletal muscles. Traditional treatments mostly focus on controlling blood sugar levels. However, they do not address the underlying changes in muscle metabolism and structure. This is where theabrownin (TB), a compound found in Pu-erh tea, com...

Scientists have found something called a Universal Receptive System. It's like a control system for cells, both good and bad ones. This system uses special receptors called TezRs, made from DNA or RNA. They're on the cell's surface, helping cells respond to their environment. A recent study focused on these TezRs in a bad bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus. They tweaked...

Klebsiella pneumoniae, a sneaky germ found worldwide, is getting tougher to treat. Scientists tested how well antibiotics work on some clinical samples and a reference strain, ATCC13883. They looked at what genes were active and found some interesting things. A particular sample, DY16KPN, seems to fight back by building up important parts of its cell, like fats, prot...
