Researchers discovered potential cosmetic compounds in the gut bacteria of red seabream and blackhead seabream. The study, published in ACS Omega, found that molecules from these bacteria inhibit key enzymes involved in skin pigmentation and aging, suggesting they could be used in future anti-wrinkle and skin-brightening products. Key Takeaways. Fish...

The tissue in our body can only hold together if the cells adhere not only to each other, but also to extracellular structures, such as collagen fibres of the connective tissue and the skin. How exactly does this work on a cellular level? Which proteins play which role? New data and findings have now been published by the research teams led by cell biologist Christof Hauck (Konstanz, Germany) and chemist Heiko Möller (Potsdam, Germany) in the open access journal "PLOS Biology". The results of their study could contribute to the further development of medical agents that are already being used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases or prevent heart attacks.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

An opinion piece appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, or JAMA this week illustrates why the drug problem among people experiencing homelessness in Denver may be so severe.

Bats are considered a natural pesticide, widely relied on by farmers as an alternative to chemical pesticides to protect their crops from insects. But since 2006, many bat populations have collapsed in counties in North America due to an invasive fungus found in the caves bats use during the day and throughout winter that causes what is known as White-Nose Syndrome. A new study in Science uses their sudden collapse to explore whether farmers turned to chemical pesticides, and whether doing so impacts human health. It finds that farmers did increase their pesticide use, leading to more than 1,000 infant deaths.
