Imagine a hidden world beneath our feet, filled with tiny fungi that form a big network, kind of like the internet for plants. This network is super important because it helps plants get the food they need. Abhiram Sripat, a scientist who started Florence Quantum Labs, has been looking into this secret fungal world.

As data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports declining combustible cigarette use, vaping and e-cigarette sales have continued to soar, increasing by more than 46% from January 2020 to December 2022, according to the Truth Initiative. While combustible cigarettes have a proven risk of cancers and other diseases, less is known about the health effects of vaping and e-cigarette use.

Parascaris spp. represent a significant threat to equine health worldwide, particularly in foals. The long-term survival of parasites in the host necessitates persistent modulation of the host immune response. Intercellular communication achieved through the exchange of molecules via extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from the parasite could be a crucial factor in this regard. This study aimed to isolate and characterize EVs released by adult male and female Parascaris worms and conduct a proteomic analysis to identify sex-specific proteins and potential immunomodulatory factors.

Consuming fish oil or seafood along with their omega-3 fatty acids—good. Consuming too much red meat along with its omega-6 fatty acids—bad. In reality, however, the impact of arachidonic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fat found only in animal products, upon human health remains a complicated, poorly understood matter.
Fatty acids found in meat and poultry may be beneficial to human metabolism
