Scientists uncover mutation tied to poor outcomes in transplant patients
Organ transplantation has significantly revolutionized the treatment of patients with organ failure. However, the recipient’s immune system recognizes transplanted organs as foreign and elicits a defensive response that can lead to serious complications.
Fact or fiction? The ADHD info dilemma
TikTok is one of the fastest-growing and most popular social media platforms in the world—especially among college-age individuals. In the United States alone, there are over 136 million TikTok users aged 18 and older, with approximately 45 million falling within the college-age demographic. And college students aren’t just using the platform to watch viral videos. They’re also turning to it as a source of information, with around 40% of Americans using TikTok as a search engine.
Low-intensity brain stimulation may restore neuron health in Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition that affects a significant proportion of older people worldwide. Synapses are points of communication between neural cells that are malleable to change based on our experiences. By adding, removing, strengthening, or weakening synaptic contacts, our brain encodes new events or forgets previous ones.
A new model enables drug discovery for a disorder affecting 40 people worldwide
Researchers at the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University have developed a model that accurately replicates an extremely rare and sometimes fatal genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the GRIN2D gene. This mouse model allows the research team to study the disease’s characteristics and test a variety of drugs and genetic therapies, offering hope to affected children and their families.
Aging-related inflammation is not universal across human populations, new study finds
Inflammation, long considered a hallmark of aging, may not be a universal human experience, according to a new study from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. The research suggests that “inflammaging”—chronic, low-grade inflammation associated with aging—appears to be a byproduct of industrialized lifestyles and varies significantly across global populations.
Nearly 150,000 pounds of ready-to-eat bologna recalled due to mislabeling
Gaiser’s European Style Provisions Inc. is recalling almost 150,000 pounds of ready-to-eat bologna due to mislabeling.
Subtle molecular changes in brain cells may be linked to autism and schizophrenia
A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi has uncovered a key mechanism that helps shape how our brains are wired, and what can happen when that process is disrupted.
Early birds get the burn: Early bedtimes are associated with more physical activity
Going to bed earlier than usual may help to optimize physical activity the following day, Monash University-led research has found. Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , the study examined whether sleep duration and sleep timing were associated with the duration of moderate-to-vigorous and overall physical activity the following day.
Guidance offered for genetic evaluation of pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders
In a clinical report issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics and published online June 23 in Pediatrics, guidance is provided for pediatricians regarding the genetic evaluation of developmental delay/intellectual disability.
