Deleting a gene cluster in wheat leads to a new seed variety that could be less harmful to individuals with celiac disease. Researchers from the University of California, Davis (CA, USA), have targeted genes in wheat that underlie gluten protein production without affecting breadmaking quality. This work represents a promising step forward in celiac disease research; however, it does not mean that they have developed a celiac-safe form of wheat.

The impact of circadian disruption on muscle health and aging has been uncovered. A research team at King’s College London (UK) has uncovered the intrinsic and extrinsic effects that circadian disruption can have on muscle health and aging. This disruption, seen with shift work, can affect protein turnover and contribute to muscle wasting. A better understanding of these impacts enables strategies for improving health in shift workers to be developed.

The dynamic organization of neural activities underlying conversation has been revealed. Have you ever wondered how our brains process language during conversations? Now, a team of researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MA, USA) has investigated this. Using artificial intelligence and neural recordings, they have revealed a dynamic organization of neural activities underlying speech production and comprehension – and the transition between the two – during natural conversation.
