Three intestinal bacteria associated with dementia with Lewy bodies discovered

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), one of the most common forms of dementia, has no cure. Previous studies suggested that gut bacteria, the microorganisms that live in the human digestive tract, play a role in Parkinson's disease, another neurodegenerative disorder, but the bacteria involved in DLB had not been identified.

New insights into how amino acids shaped the genetic code of ancient microorganisms

By simulating early Earth conditions in the lab, researchers have found that without specific amino acids, ancient proteins would not have known how to evolve into everything alive on the planet today - including plants, animals, and humans.

Simple blood tests for telomeric protein could provide a valuable screen for certain cancers

Once thought incapable of encoding proteins due to their simple monotonous repetitions of DNA, tiny telomeres at the tips of our chromosomes seem to hold a potent biological function that's potentially relevant to our understanding of cancer and aging.

Replacing meat with Quorn's mycoprotein reduces cancer-causing chemicals in the intestines

Researchers from Northumbria University have found that swapping red and processed meat for Quorn's mycoprotein, a fungi-based meat alternative, leads to a significant reduction in intestinal genotoxins - which can cause bowel cancer - and increases healthy gut bacteria.
