Microorganisms are present in snow/ice of the Antarctic Plateau, but their biogeography and metabolic state under extreme local conditions are poorly understood. Here, we show the diversity and distribution of microorganisms in air (1.5 m height) and snow/ice down to 4 m depth at three distant latitudes along a 2578 km transect on the East Antarctic Plateau on board an environmentally friendly, mobile platform.

Background & Aims: Meal timing is an emerging branch of science that investigates the influence of eating patterns on the circadian rhythm and overall health. There are still discrepancies in the literature as to whether late distribution of food intake and sleep disorders could impact biochemical, anthropometric, and cardiovascular markers. The objectives of this study were firstly observe skipping breakfast and sleep disorders over 12 months.

- The study investigates how Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers relate to cognitive performance as measured by the NIHTB-CB in late middle-aged Hispanic individuals.
- Lower cortical thickness (CT) and the presence of infarcts were linked to poorer performance in reading recognition and overall cognition scores, while higher white matter hyperintensities (WMH) also negatively impacted processing speed.
- Interestingly, amyloid and tau levels, often associated with AD, showed no correlation with cognitive test performance, prompting further research to see if AD affects NIHTB-CB results over time.
Obesity is a complex chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. There is still significant stigma associated with it, which can lead to discrimination and create additional barriers for people who are already in treatment. On the other hand, it is noted that it can have serious implications for health and predisposition to noncommunicable chronic diseases.

- Researchers found that the bacteria in our guts, called the gut microbiome, can affect how lung cancer develops and how well treatment works.
- In experiments with mice, losing a certain protein made the gut bacteria less diverse and increased inflammation, which can help tumors grow.
- They also noticed that lung cancer patients with more of a specific type of bacteria in their guts responded worse to certain cancer treatments, suggesting that gut bacteria might be important for cancer therapy.
