Gene regulation in the brain; red meat daily boosts heart disease-related chemical; and modified houseplant cleans airborne toxins

January 8, 2019 Edition Revealing gene regulation in the brain A resource with information on gene regulation from more than 2,000 human brains yielded insights into mental disorders and will enable future studies of human brain development and function. Eating red meat daily triples heart disease-related chemical Compared to people eating diets rich in white meat or plant-based protein, those who ate a diet rich in red meat had triple the levels of TMAO, a chemical that's been linked to heart disease.
