A team from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology has discovered a new class of bacterial mobile genetic elements that use giant viruses—known as jumbo phages—to move between cells. The ...

The American Heart Association (AHA) says added sugar is absorbed faster than natural sugar because our body digests the nutrients in fruit or milk slowly. The AHA recommends men eat no more than 36 ...

Previous studies in mice suggested long-term antibiotic use can disrupt the gut's mucosal lining, which may contribute to weight gain. The team urges more research to determine the consequences of ...
