It’s all in the genes! Scientists explain why men are taller than women

Scientists have identified a key genetic factor that helps explain why men are typically five inches taller than women. This difference is attributed to a gene called SHOX that operates differently between the sexes due to variations in chromosome structure. A new study, published on May 19 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, analyzed genetic data from nearly one million people across three large biobanks in the U.S. and the UK. Researchers found the SHOX gene accounts for approximately one-quarter—or 25%—of the average height difference between men and women.  The research team, led by Matthew Oetjens, assistant

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. targets loopholes in food safety rules

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his first major initiative as the nation’s top health official to address chemicals in the American food supply. He directed the Food and Drug Administration to explore new rules to close a decades-old regulatory gap allowing companies to add ingredients without government review. Kennedy is targeting the “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS) provision that permits food manufacturers to self-certify certain ingredients without notifying federal regulators. The Department of Health and Human Services said a potential rule change would likely require companies to notify the FDA and submit safety data when adding new ingredients to food

Revolutionary Gene Therapy Saves Infant's Life: A Medical First

In a groundbreaking medical achievement, nine-month-old KJ Muldoon became the first person to receive a personalized gene-editing therapy, effectively treating his rare and often fatal genetic disorder, carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency. This milestone was made possible through decades of publicly funded research, highlighting the critical role of government investment in advancing medical science. CPS1 deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder that impairs the body’s ability to eliminate ammonia, leading to toxic accumulation. Traditionally, treatment options are limited, often requiring liver transplants. KJ’s condition was dire, but a team at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University

The obesity epidemic: Are ultra-processed foods to blame?

The U.S. is confronting an escalating obesity epidemic, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that 41.9% of adults are classified as obese, a number that has steadily increased over the past 20 years. A key factor behind this crisis is the rising consumption of ultra-processed foods, which are industrially made products high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, salt, and artificial additives. This consumption pattern is particularly alarming among children, with studies indicating that ultra-processed foods contribute nearly 70% of their daily caloric intake. This shift correlates strongly with a surge in childhood obesity, type 2 diabetes, and

Repelling danger: Can we hack our scent to fool mosquitoes?

If you’ve ever felt like a mosquito magnet, you’re not alone—and science is beginning to explain why. A 2022 study from Rockefeller University, published in Cell, revealed that individuals emitting higher levels of carboxylic acids on their skin are significantly more attractive to Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, notorious for spreading diseases like dengue, Zika, and yellow fever. Carboxylic acids are naturally produced by our skin and metabolized by skin bacteria, contributing to our unique body odor. The study found that people with higher concentrations of these acids were consistently more appealing to mosquitoes over time, regardless of diet or hygiene practices.
