jewsee-medicalstudent: Mesentery is now classified as an organ. Researchers have classified a brand-new organ inside our bodies, one that’s been hiding in plain sight in our digestive system this whole time. Although we now know about the structure of this new organ, its function is still poorly understood, and studying it could be the key to better understanding and treatment of abdominal and digestive disease. Known as the mesentery, the new organ is found in our digestive systems, and was long thought to be made up of fragmented, separate structures. But recent research has shown that it’s actually one, continuous organ. The evidence for the organ’s reclassificatio…

medresearch: Researchers Find Biological Explanation for Wheat Sensitivity A new study may explain why people who do not have celiac disease or wheat allergy nevertheless experience a variety of gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms after ingesting wheat and related cereals. The findings suggest that these individuals have a weakened intestinal barrier, which leads to a body-wide inflammatory immune response. “Our study shows that the symptoms reported by individuals with this condition are not imagined, as some people have suggested,” said study co-author Peter H. Green, MD, the Phyllis and Ivan Seidenberg Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Medi…

Getty Images/Science Photo Library In September, reproductive endocrinologist John Zhang and his team at the New Hope Fertility Center in New York City captured the world's attention when they announced the birth of a child to a mother carrying a fatal genetic defect. Using a technique called mitochondrial replacement therapy, the researchers combined DNA from two women and one man to bypass the defect and produce a healthy baby boy — one with, quite literally, three genetic parents. It was…

In 2017, experts predict that low-cost, long-haul flights will become ever more available. There's good news and bad news. As soon as travelers adjust to the new way of flying, it seems airlines mess with the rules. This past year brought plenty of changes to the air travel experience and, for better or worse, passengers should expect plenty more in 2017. 'Basic Economy' Becomes a Buzzword In 2016 Delta, Alaska Air, United, and American airlines all revealed new airfare classes in an attempt to capture a wider range of travelers. Expect to see an expansion of basic economy, which appeals to price-sensitive fliers (but bums the rest of us out with overh…
