Researchers discover a new, effective way to treat aggressive blood cancer in children

Australian scientists have found what could prove to be a new and effective way to treat a particularly aggressive blood cancer in children.

Ongoing losses in fish biodiversity continue threatens human diet

A new study of dozens of wild fish species commonly consumed in the Peruvian Amazon says that people there could suffer major nutritional shortages if ongoing losses in fish biodiversity continue. Furthermore, the increasing use of aquaculture and other substitutes may not compensate.

Neuromorphic chip recognizes complex biosignals, can help monitor epilepsy

Current neural network algorithms produce impressive results that help solve an incredible number of problems.

“Paralyzed” immune cells can be reactivated by drugs in IDH-mutant gliomas

Brain tumor cells with a certain common mutation reprogram invading immune cells. This leads to the paralysis of the body's immune defense against the tumor in the brain. Researchers from Heidelberg, Mannheim, and Freiburg discovered this mechanism and at the same time identified a way of reactivating the paralyzed immune system to fight the tumor.

Telomere length decreases most rapidly from birth to age 3, shows study

Telomeres are protective caps on DNA that shorten as we grow older. Now, one of the first studies to examine telomere length (TL) in childhood finds that the initial setting of TL during prenatal development and in the first years of life may determine one's TL throughout childhood and potentially even into adulthood or older age.

Exposure to chemicals in plastic during the fetal stage is linked with a lower IQ

Bisphenol F chemical (found in plastics) may cause changes in a gene that is crucial for neurological development. Researchers from the Swedish universities of Uppsala and Karlstad made this discovery.

Human self-organizing cardiac organoids mimic the architecture of a heart chamber

Self-organizing heart organoids created at the Austrian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) are also efficient injury and in vitro congenital disease models. These “cardioids” have the potential to transform studies into cardiovascular diseases and heart malformations.

Study shows how mitochondrial function impacts schizophrenia in patients with genetic disorder

Researchers have demonstrated how cell “batteries” play a significant role in whether patients with the chromosomal deletion syndrome acquire schizophrenia.

Location is intrinsically linked to nutritional quality of diets, shows research

The amount of nutrients people get from the crops that they eat is a type of 'postcode lottery', according to new research that has analyzed thousands of cereal grains and soils as part of a project to tackle hidden hunger in Malawi and Ethiopia.

New technology improves efficacy of inflammatory bowel disease drugs

More Canadians suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) than anywhere else in the world, yet current treatments often have debilitating side effects and are not always effective.

New kind of biomolecule could play a vital role in the biology of all living things

Stanford researchers have discovered a new kind of biomolecule that could play a significant role in the biology of all living things.

Tanzanian farmers improve children's diet by sustainable crop-growing methods

A project based in Tanzania found significant improvements in the diversity of children's diets and food security for households after farmers learned about sustainable crop-growing methods, gender equity, nutrition and climate change from peer mentors.

Mutations in GEMIN5 protein can cause rare genetic disorders in children

Researchers have discovered a genetic cause of an unusual neurological disorder characterized by developmental delay, known as ataxia.

Lack of functional GAS2 gene causes severe hearing impairment in mice

A gene called GAS2 plays a key role in normal hearing, and its absence causes severe hearing loss, according to a study led by researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Inclusion of soybean and linseed oils in the diet of dairy cows improves milk quality

Inclusion of soybean and linseed oils in the diet of dairy cows made the fatty acid content of their milk even healthier for human nutrition. It also increased the proportions of omega-6 and omega-3, which in the right balance play a key role in preventing cardiovascular diseases, for example, as well as chronic inflammation and some kinds of cancer.
