An international team, led by researchers at Sainte-Justine Hospital and the Université de Montréal, has identified the deficient... view more (2008-02-21)

Vitamin B12 function may be diminished by excessive folate
In a study of adults aged 20 and over, researchers at Tufts University showed that homocysteine and methylmalonic acid are at much higher levels in individuals who have a combination of vitamin B12 deficiency and high blood folate levels than in individuals who are also vitamin B12 deficient but... view more (2007-12-19)

Plant studies reveal how, where seeds store iron
Biologists have learned where and how some plant seeds store iron, a valuable discovery for scientists working to improve the iron content of plants. Their research helps address the worldwide problem of iron deficiency and malnutrition in humans.   view more (2006-11-03)

Iron supplements might harm infants who have enough
A new study suggests that extra iron for infants who don't need it might delay development -- results that fuel the debate over optimal iron supplement levels and could have huge implications for the baby formula and food industry.   view more (2008-05-05)

Vitamin D deficiency widespread during pregnancy

Medical breakthrough for organ transplants and cardiovascular diseases by Flemish researchers
When a blood vessel clogs up, a localized deficiency of oxygen results, causing the surrounding tissue to die. However, working with mice, VIB scientists connected to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven have been able to prevent muscular tissue with severe hypoxia from dying.   view more (2008-01-07)

Brain circuits that control hunger identified
Researchers at UCLA have determined the brain circuits involved in hunger that are influenced by a hormone called leptin.
