This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Researchers now believe that epigenetic changes, determining which genes are active and which are not, are involved in a number of conditions. These include everything from addiction and depression to cancer and blood disorders. David Bryder. “The research community has long focused on DNA alone. But the genome in its

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that sugar beets produce haemoglobin. They now hope that this haemoglobin could serve as a blood substitute – a substance that is currently in short supply.   Watch on YouTube: How to produce haemoglobin from sugar beets “Previously, it has been presumed that certain plants produce this iron protein only when stressed, such as in drought or

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An
