Lettuce could protect astronauts from bone density loss in microgravity

Astronauts might one day grow and eat genetically modified plants to ward off disease associated with long spaceflights. Researchers at the University of California, Davis College of Engineering have developed a transgenic, or genetically modified, lettuce producing a drug to protect against bone density loss in microgravity.

WVU researcher unravels role of STAT5 protein in the development of multiple sclerosis

A human immune system is a lot like the board game Mouse Trap: it's a Rube Goldberg system of interacting parts. Only instead of a falling ball causing a tiny diver to leap into a tub - which, in turn, springs a trap on some plastic mice - proteins trigger other proteins to activate immune cells and direct them toward germs.
