Unlocking Optimal Health: Yale’s Breakthrough Map Paves Way for Personalized Diets

Oct 10, 2024 | scitechdaily.com | Jon Atherton

Yale scientists have developed a map detailing how food molecules interact with gut bacteria, revealing why individuals react differently to the same foods. This research could lead to personalized nutrition plans that accommodate individual gut responses to help manage and prevent diseases. Credit: SciTechDaily.comResearchers at Yale have created the first systematic map that shows how our individual gut bacteria interact with dietary molecules.

A new map of the molecules in our food holds promise in nurturing optimal gut function and overall well-being. By Jon Atherton “Gut health” is a growing buzzword for foodies and dietitians alike - and with good reason. The trillions of microbes and bacteria living in our gut are implicated in numerous aspects of health and disease. Scholars at the Yale Microbial Sciences Institute have taken an important step towards evidence-driven personalized nutrition tailored to individual gut health needs.
Scientists decipher the energy patterns in our cells

Sep 17, 2024 | phys.org | Jon Atherton

Our cells harness energy for essential functions such as division, wound healing, and our immune response to diseases including cancer. But until now, the mechanics of how that energy affects cell behavior—and how this relates to health outcomes—have remained elusive.

Building artiﬁcial cells to measure energy ﬂow in living systems

May 21, 2024 | phys.org | Jon Atherton

Living systems are defined by a continuous flow of energy, which is essential for physical development, wound healing, and our immune response to diseases like cancer. But measuring the energy flow of a specific process, like force generation, is complicated by the more than 10,000 different kinds of molecular proteins interacting inside each of our cells.

Key to harnessing light waves? First do the math

Apr 9, 2024 | westcampus.yale.edu | Jon Atherton

By Jon AthertonHot bodies emit light waves in a process scientists call ‘thermal radiation’ – exemplified in the light we see through night vision goggles or in the glowing embers of a fire. New thermophotovoltaic devices capture these energy waves, offering the potential for more efficient and sustainable electricity than offered by conventional solar cells.
Discovery of 'molecular machine' brings new immune therapies a step closer

Mar 4, 2024 | phys.org | Jon Atherton

Yale scientists have discovered a family of immune proteins, which they describe as a "massive molecular machine," that could affect the way our bodies fight infection. Our immune system mobilizes numerous proteins to detect viruses and bacteria—and to bring them under control.

Yale scientists have discovered a family of immune proteins, which they describe as a “massive molecular machine,” that could affect the way our bodies fight infection. Our immune system mobilizes numerous proteins to detect viruses and bacteria — and to bring them under control. But until recently, limits to research technology have thwarted scientists’ understanding of how to prevent different pathogens from occupying and replicating within specific parts of our cells in the first place.
