by Susan Murphy, Mayo Clinic β-diversities measures were compared. For β-diversity, Bray–Curtis (BC), unweighted, and weighted, UniFrac distance metrics were reported. The most significant metric is shown in each ordination plot. (A–D) Bacterial community β-diversity between OC patients with sensitive vs other (resistant/refractory) tumor response. Fallopian tube, (A) β-diversity: sensitive vs other (p = 0.003). Ovaries, (B)...

DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2022.105901 A novel peptide designed by University of California, Irvine researchers has been found to suppress the damaging lung inflammation seen in acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. The study, which appears in iScience, describes the first specific treatment designed to prevent the deadly disease, which can appear in patients with...
by Arizona State University Choline is a vital nutrient for brain and body health. While it is available in a variety of foods, most Americans do not meet the required amount for proper health. A new study suggests that insufficient choline can lead to pathologies in the heart and liver and is associated with the...
