The moment a creature dies, its DNA begins to break down. Half of it degrades every 521 years on average. By about 6.8 million years, even under ideal preservation conditions in cold, stable environments, every meaningful trace is gone. That’s a huge challenge when trying to understand our evolutionary history more deeply: Two-legged primates emerged 7 million years ago in …

Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, and the youngest you’ll ever be. That’s just the way it is, but did you know that not all of you is aging at the same rate? New research has shown that, in fact, some of our organs age much faster than others, opening new frontiers for understanding, tracking, and potentially intervening the …

Anti-inflammatory proteins like fish, legumes and soy support healthy metabolism. Lean meats and fermented soy boost gut health, regulate blood sugar and aid in sustainable weight loss. Balanced meals, sleep, exercise and stress control are key for long-term weight health. Protein plays a key role in reducing inflammation and supporting metabolic health—two factors that can make weight loss more achievable …

Image credit: Ingrid Bertens/Stocksy A study finds that eating eggs is associated with a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. Using brain autopsies, the scientists also showed that those who ate eggs more regularly had less protein buildup …

For decades, structural biologists shoved what looked like shoddy data in the back of their closets, embarrassed. While attempting to gather the structures of proteins, they would sometimes find that all or at least a portion of the protein would just not show up correctly in the data.  Joel Sussman, a former head of the Protein Data Bank, remembers when …

CNN  —  Scientists have recovered ancient proteins from a fossilized rhinoceros tooth, breaking new ground in the study of ancient life on Earth. The 24 million-year-old tooth, which was unearthed in the Canadian Arctic, contains proteins that are 10 times older than the most ancient known DNA. Using the sample, scientists have now analyzed the oldest detailed protein sequence on …
