Children who had preexisting health problems or who lived in the Southern United States had a higher risk for severe health outcomes from acute COVID-19 infections, according to researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The results, reported in the journal Hospital Pediatrics, also showed the importance of vaccinations in reducing the severity of illness for those who became infected.
Intense focus pervades the EEG laboratory at the University of Konstanz on this day of experimentation. In separate labs, two participants, connected by screens, engage in the computer game Pacman. The burning question: Can strangers, unable to communicate directly, synchronize their efforts to conquer the digital realm together?
Four out of five people in Mexico who got influenza shots so far this year turned down the government’s recommendation that they get Russian or Cuban COVID-19 boosters at the same time, officials said Tuesday.
COVID-19 remains a threat as a virus variant has been spreading steadily around the globe, the World Health Organisation said Tuesday.
Researchers at São Paulo State University’s Botucatu Institute of Biosciences (IBB-UNESP) in Brazil have developed a novel biomaterial that speeds up osteoblast (bone cell) differentiation. The invention has the potential to be used in the future in bone regeneration, bone grafting, and dental implant recovery, among other procedures.
Do adults with a history of childhood trauma have altered brain responses to psychological challenges? Previous studies indicated that this can occur in laboratory animals, but it has been unclear whether it occurs in humans.
A recent study delves into the behavioral complexities of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by introducing the rigid-autonomous phase sequence (RAPS) formation concept. RAPS may be responsible for the cognitive, sensory-motor, and memory-related challenges faced by individuals with ASD. By uniting these insights under a single theoretical framework, this research paves the way for innovative treatments, promising a brighter future for those with ASD.
A new research paper was published in Aging, titled “Parental age effect on the longevity and healthspan in Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans.”

Yet it is our body’s master control, regulating a myriad of functions including body temperature, circadian rhythm, sleep, blood pressure and blood volume, stress responses, hunger and satiety, arousal, and lactation. Until recently, our understanding of the hypothalamus at cellular resolution came from animal studies.
