How Babies Born By C-Section Make Up for Lost Microbes
After nine months spent as a growing life in someone else’s body, the second a baby is born, they begin growing life in their own body: colonies of tiny bacterial cells ready to begin populating a baby’s gut microbiome. This microbial starter pack is a sort of going-away present from the mother’s body, acquired by a baby on the journey from the uterus through the birth canal. As a baby grows, their internal ecosystem becomes more complex, until eventually they’ve developed the robust bacterial diversity that allows the gut and other microbial havens to regulate and protect immunity and so many other...

Eli Lilly ’s Price Cut Is Gamechanging. But Insulin Isn’t the Only High Cost for People With Diabetes
Early each year, Kristin Thompson-Lerberg sits down with her husband to plan how they’ll reach their family’s insurance policy’s $3,000 deductible. The conversation is always short: Thompson-Lerberg needs about 8 vials of insulin each month to treat her Type-1 diabetes, and at $275 per vial before insurance kicks in, it takes just two months to reach the deductible from insulin alone.
But their budget expanded after pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly announced on Mar. 1 that the monthly out-of-pocket prices of their insulin brands will soon be capped at $35 regardless of a person’s insurance. For Humalo...

Lilly said it will cut the list price for its most commonly prescribed insulin, Humalog, and for another insulin, Humulin, by 70% in the fourth quarter, which starts in September. The drug...
