Chromatography in Greek means to ‘write with colors.’ It is a versatile separation technique developed in 1903 by Mikhail Tswett, a Russian botanist. He separated colorful plant pigments using a column of calcium carbonate. Ever since its discovery, chromatography has evolved as a powerful tool in the lab for the separation and identification of different compounds in a mixture.

Trial investigates how quickly human milk responds to common plant based meat swaps

Replacing beef with a plant based beef substitute for six days changed the fatty acid composition of human milk, increasing medium chain saturated fats and lowering key long chain polyunsaturated fats such as arachidonic acid. These biochemical shifts occurred without changes in maternal weight, appetite, glucose patterns or infant milk intake.

Switching APOE4 to APOE2 in adult mice reduces Alzheimer’s pathology and improves memory

Replacing APOE4 with APOE2 in adult mice rapidly reshapes brain lipids and gene expression, even after development is complete. This switch, especially when targeted to astrocytes, reduces amyloid burden, dampens gliosis, and improves associative memory despite E2-like peripheral lipid risks.

Even low PFAS in drinking water raise blood levels, California study shows

Researchers in Southern California found that even low levels of PFAS (“forever chemicals”) in public drinking water lead to measurable increases in blood PFAS concentrations. The study underscores the urgent need for stronger water-quality monitoring and stricter PFAS regulations across non-industrial regions.

Scientists uncover the gut’s hidden hydrogen engine and how it falters in Crohn’s disease

Study reveals that group B [FeFe]-hydrogenase is the primary enzyme driving fermentative hydrogen production in the healthy human gut, mainly through Bacteroides species. These genes are significantly depleted in Crohn’s disease, indicating a metabolic shift and altered hydrogen cycling dominated by respiratory bacteria

Can strawberries help prevent diabetes? New trial shows promising results in prediabetic adults

Daily consumption of freeze-dried strawberries for 12 weeks improved antioxidant defense, reduced inflammation, and lowered fasting glucose in adults with prediabetes. The randomized crossover trial highlights strawberries’ potential as a simple, food-based strategy to enhance metabolic and vascular health.
