Microbiome-directed therapeutic foods tackle childhood malnutrition
The results of two new reports, linking the growth of infants and children to healthy development of gut microbiomes, were published in Science on July 12th. Researchers utilized microbiome-directed complementary foods in an approach that focuses on selectively boosting key growth-promoting gut microbes using ingredients present in affordable, culturally acceptable foods.  Discuss
CAR-T cell therapy research shows encouraging signs for mesothelioma patients
Every year, nearly 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma are diagnosed in the United States. While this is just a small percentage of overall cancer diagnoses, this rare cancer is one that has proven to be extremely difficult to treat. Fortunately, even with this cancer affecting a disproportionate number of patients, researchers are continuing to study mesothelioma in hopes of improving the disease’s prognosis.  Discuss
New clinical trial testing effectiveness of anti-obesity drug in conjunction with genetic screening
