In recent years, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have emerged as central players in the complex dialogue between gut microbiota and host physiology. These small organic acids—mainly acetate, propionate, and butyrate—are the byproducts of microbial fermentation of dietary fibers in the colon. While their names may sound simple, their roles in metabolic regulation, immune signaling, and intest

CD Bioglyco, the leading platform for glycobiology, recently announced the launch of the Hot Glycans research resource, a list of key glycan structures and their applications with the greatest potential for breakthroughs in glycoscience today. Its goal is to provide systematic glycan products and custom services to global researchers, pharmaceutical developers, and technology departments, further promoting f

Among Alzheimer 's victims, 40% to 65% have a genetic variant called APOE4. Scientists have long known that this variant significantly increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, especially when one inherits a copy of APOE4 from both parents, but they are still learning to explain the molecular mechanisms of APOE4 action.

A study published in the November 16 issue of Nature suggests that APOE4 may lead to Alzheimer's disease in a way
