We describe an automated system for high-resolution profiling of human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) based upon multiplexed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by desolvation and direct analysis ...

Scientists have pioneered a new way to monitor sodium levels in the blood—without drawing a single drop. By combining terahertz radiation and optoacoustic detection, they created a non-invasive system ...

Gut bacteria are known to be a key factor in many health-related concerns. However, the number and variety of them is vast, ...

When tested on their own and in mice, these bacterial strains from the human microbiome show promise in accumulating PFAS ...

Growing interest in health and the exposome—a person's collective environmental exposures—is spurring new funding and ...

An experiment in lab mice found that certain human gut bacteria can absorb PFAS, commonly called "forever chemicals," until they are excreted, new study finds.

Mitochondria are the body's "energy factories," and their proper function is essential for life. Inside mitochondria, a set ...

How do we determine how healthy our food is? We know now that our nutrition shouldn't just be measured in calories, or even ...

Discover how your stress response is actually working for you—and how imagination can help you adapt, even when the world ...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) is a promising tool for large-scale screening of body fluids for the early detection of human diseases.
