Brain-based visual impairment in children

Nov 19, 2024 at 11:18 pm

Experts have identified five elements of a brain-based condition that has emerged as a leading cause of vision impairment starting in childhood in the United States and other industrialized nations. Known as cerebral (or cortical) visual impairment (CVI), some estimates suggest that at least 3% of primary school children exhibit CVI-related visual problems, which vary, but may include difficulty visually searching for an object or person or understanding a scene involving complex motion.

High exposure to everyday chemicals during pregnancy linked to asthma risk in children

Nov 19, 2024 at 6:43 pm

A new study sheds light on a potential link between exposure to certain everyday chemicals during pregnancy and the development of asthma in children. The study analyzed data from over 3,500 mother-child pairs as part of the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS), a large-scale nationwide research project.

Study identifies subtypes of fibroblasts in skin cancer

Nov 19, 2024 at 6:43 pm

A study provides insights into the diversity of cancer-associated fibroblasts in white and black skin cancer and describes their different immunomodulatory roles in the tumor environment. The results are relevant for the development of novel skin cancer therapies, particularly in the field of immunotherapy.

By exerting 'crowd control' over mouse cells, scientists make progress towards engineering tissues

Nov 19, 2024 at 6:28 pm

Genes aren't the sole driver instructing cells to build multicellular structures, tissues, and organs. Biologists have now characterized the influence of another important developmental driver: cell density, or how loosely or tightly cells are packed into a given space. In both computational models and laboratory experiments, the team of scientists used cell density as an effective tool for controlling how mouse cells pattern themselves into complex structures. The research represents progress towards the big picture goal of engineering synthetic tissues. Synthetic tissues could have endless medical applications, ranging from testing potential drugs or therapies to providing grafts or transplants for patients.

Labeling cell particles with barcodes

Nov 19, 2024 at 6:28 pm

Cell-to-cell communication through nanosized particles, working as messengers and carriers, can now be analyzed in a whole new way, thanks to a new method involving CRISPR gene-editing technology. The particles, known as small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), play an important role in the spread of disease and as potential drug carriers. The newly developed system, named CIBER, enables thousands of genes to be studied at once, by labeling sEVs with a kind of RNA 'barcode.' With this, researchers hope to find what factors are involved in sEV release from host cells. This will help advance our understanding of basic sEV biology and may aid in the development of new treatments for diseases, such as cancer.

Neuroscientists discover how the brain slows anxious breathing

Nov 19, 2024 at 6:28 pm

Scientists discovered a brain circuit that allows us to regulate voluntary breathing, which connects the brain's emotional and behavioral cortical area to its automatic breathing brainstem area. The findings provide a targetable area for slowing breathing in people with anxiety, panic disorders, or PTSD, in addition to explaining the efficacy of slowed, intentional breathing in mindfulness practices like yoga.
