People returned to live in Pompeii's ruins, archaeologists say New evidence suggests people returned to live among the ruins of Pompeii after the ancient Roman city was devastated by a volcanic eruption. Archaeologists believe some survivors who could not afford to start a new life elsewhere returned to the site and may have been joined by others looking for a place to settle. Pompeii was home to more than 20,000 people before Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD79, burying - and preserving - much of

This meta-analysis concurrently and comprehensively evaluates the association of intermittent fasting, CER, and ad-libitum diets on cardiometabolic risk factors. Our findings showed a trivial to small reduction in body weight for all diet strategies compared with ad-libitum, and trivial reductions for ADF compared with CER, TRE, and WDF. These associations, however, were only significant among comparisons with ad-libitum diet in moderate-to-long term follow-up durations of at least 24 weeks. ADF

In 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted in what would become one of humanity’s most infamous ancient tragedies. Tens of centuries later, archaeologists eagerly dug through the ash and pumice to rediscover the buried Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in all their preserved glory. In their eagerness, however, they may have missed an important layer of history. While working in the Insula meridionalis—the southern quarter of Pompeii’s ancient urban center—archaeologists uncovered evidence confirmin

How to Scale Proteomics

A cell is a vibrating bag of molecules, densely packed with DNA, proteins, RNAs, and lipids. The ratios of these molecules are not balanced, though. A typical HeLa cell, widely used as a model to study cancer in the laboratory, has about 20 times more protein than DNA by mass. Such imbalances are pervasive across the tree of life, but proteins are always the heaviest and most diverse group of molecules within a cell.
