When is the best time to take L-theanine—morning or night? Penn In the News Good Housekeeping When is the best time to take L-theanine—morning or night? According to Colleen Tewksbury of the School of Nursing, research suggests that L-theanine may help support stress management, sleep, and potentially weight management. In hot water: Coral resilience in the face of climate change Researchers led by Katie Barott collect data from coral populations in Kanohe Bay, Hawaii.

Protein partners identified as potential key for fetal bone development Image: iStock/Christoph Burgstedt Protein partners identified as potential key for fetal bone development A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, could contribute to the development of healthy, strong bones by directing early cell movement and blood vessel generation. More than skin deep: A molecular and mechanistic look at pigmentation variation PIK Professor Sarah Tishkoff led a collaborative team of researchers who have discovered key insights into the molecular basis of skin color differences among Africans. “There’s so much genetic diversity in African populations, but they’ve also been historically underrepresented in studies,” Tishkoff says. “Our findings offer more information on these populations and paint a clearer picture of human evolution.” (Image: Courtesy of Sarah Tishkoff and Alessia Ranciaro) More than skin deep: A molecular and mechanistic look at pigmentation variation A new collaborative study offers a better understanding of genes and variants responsible for skin color, providing insights into human evolution and local adaptation. Research shows how stress activates neurons that disrupt sleep Image: iStock/Prostock-Studio Research shows how stress activates neurons that disrupt sleep New research from Penn Medicine shows suppressing these neurons may be a promising target for therapies to treat stress-related sleep disorders, like insomnia and PTSD. Is the flu shot market a slam dunk for mRNA vaccines? Experts aren’t so sure Penn In the News Stat Is the flu shot market a slam dunk for mRNA vaccines? Experts aren’t so sure Scott Hensley of the Perelman School of Medicine is working on a flu vaccine to provide protection against 20 subtypes of flu that may pose a pandemic threat in the future. Thanks, Neanderthals: How our ancient relatives could help find new antibiotics Penn In the News NPR Thanks, Neanderthals: How our ancient relatives could help find new antibiotics A study by César de la Fuente of the Perelman School of Medicine and colleagues used AI to recreate molecules from ancient humans that could be potential candidates for antimicrobial treatments. Long COVID brain fog may originate in a surprising place, say scientists Penn In the News NPR Long COVID brain fog may originate in a surprising place, say scientists A study by Christoph Thaiss and Maayan Levy of the Perelman School of Medicine and colleagues finds that long COVID’s neurological symptoms, like brain fog, memory loss, and fatigue, may stem from serotonin reduction.
