When you pack for an extended trip, you usually bring everything you will need while you are away—food, clothing, medication, and other necessities. But what do you do if your trip takes you to space, where cargo room is extremely limited and expensive? A team of researchers from Rhodium Scientific and the University of Florida propose that you pack some useful microbes along with your essentials. These microbes could help make other products you might need during your stay...

The idea that inflammation—constant, low-level, immune-system activation —could be at the root of chronic diseases such as cancer, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, and even depression is a bold claim. Until relatively recently, this claim was met with skepticism in labs and lecture halls. Can unconnected illnesses of different organs and body parts really share a biological link? Researchers in molecular biology have been compiling evidence that many chronic conditions are triggered by the immune system’s inflammatory response...
