Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

As kids, many of us pondered what stars are made of. Some grown-up astronomers, on the other hand,

wonder about where stars came from. Now, a study serves up a surprise, because it seems that the smallest galaxies in the universe gave rise to an unexpectedly large proportion of stars. The findings

are in the astrophysical journal. Most of the stars we see in the sky were formed when the

universe was young, just a few billion years after the Big Bang. So to study stellar origins,

scientists used telescopes that allow them to

see galaxies that are so far away, they're essentially looking back in time. Previous observations

had focused on the star-forming powers of larger galaxies. But in this latest study, researchers

used data collected by a powerful camera aboard the Hubble Space Telescope. With this instrument,

they could eyeball smaller dwarf galaxies,

and they found that these diminutive dynamos churned out stars at a furious rate,

fast enough to double their mass in only 150 million years.

That reproductive feat would take most so-called normal galaxies 1 to 3 billion years.

Seems the universe has long known what Danny DeVito, Michael J. Fox, and Dustin Hoffman later proved.

You don't have to be big to have real star power.
