A protein called collagen, which provides structure to tissues, is found almost everywhere in the human body, from the skin to the bones. Pancreatic cancer cells can also produce their own misshapen collagen, a new study has found.

People with serious food allergies face potentially fatal consequences if they're accidentally exposed to triggering foods. But tests in allergic mice show that swallowing a form of butyrate -- a compound produced by healthy gut bacteria -- offers protection against peanut allergy, scientists report. The treatment might also counteract other food allergies, as well as inflammatory diseases.
