The research team plans to further utilize AI capabilities at UM Institute for Health Computing to process larger datasets and examine the causal relationship between snoring and brain outcomes.

"Photosynthetic bacteria utilize highly organized chlorophyll arrays, allowing them to capture light even in low-light conditions. We aimed to recreate these structures based on the identical synthetic molecular design, as comparing their photophysical properties might help us understand why such structures were selected in the course of evolution in nature, " explains Prof. Yagai.

While light skin pigmentation likely aided early farmers in producing vitamin D in less sunny climates, the ability to digest animal milk enabled people to utilize milk as a nutrition source after dairy farming became common in Europe.

"We are all aware of the need to shift to more plant-based diets. If we can understand how to address the negative experiences of eating dietary fibers, we can better utilize fiber-rich by-products, such as bran from grains, in a sustainable way."

"Now we've got this blueprint for how different plants utilize the sun's energy to survive in different environments," says Joseph Swift, co-first author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher in Ecker's lab.
