A genome-wide screening platform has highlighted cellular barriers that limit the effectiveness of nonviral genome editing, which could be targeted to enhance its potency.

Health trajectories for type 2 diabetes differ between men and women, which could help lead to more targeted clinical action and early intervention based on sex.

Low-carb diets radically alter the balance of microbes in the gut with changes depending on whether fats or proteins are used as substitutes, preclinical research suggests.
