Infant iron supplements linked to fewer behavior problems at age three

Healthy, breastfed infants who receive iron supplementation show fewer aggressive behaviors at age 3 compared with children who did not receive supplementation, according to new research from Umeå University. However, more research is needed before iron supplementation can be rec

One gene, two diseases: Study reveals opposing dementia and cancer risks

Researchers at the University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging have uncovered evidence that a single genetic variant may influence the risk of two of the diseases people fear most—dementia and cancer—but in opposite ways.

AI turns mouse movements into language-like tokens, uncovering autism-related social behav

An artificial intelligence model capable of reading and interpreting animal behavior like language has been developed by researchers at KAIST. The team created an AI model that learns behavioral data in a manner similar to natural language and was able to independently identify s

Many treatments help chronic back pain, but only in the short term

A large-scale analysis by an international research team, led by Bochum University of Applied Sciences, shows that nonsurgical treatments such as massage, exercise therapy or acupuncture for chronic back pain can alleviate symptoms—but usually only for a few weeks. Clinically sig

DNA damage can trigger neurons to self-destruct

Over the past decade, researchers at WashU Medicine have established that a molecule called SARM1 is a central trigger in the loss of axons, the vital wiring of the nervous system. Axon loss is characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral scleros

A simple message helps keep stem cell donors on track

When a patient needs a stem cell transplant, finding a registered donor is only the first step. Some potential donors drop out before confirmatory typing, reducing the pool from which doctors can choose. Researchers from Osaka University and collaborators tested whether a small c

CAR T cell therapy targets key mutation driving rare blood cancers

A new form of CAR T-cell therapy has been designed to find and destroy the cancer-driving stem cells responsible for a group of blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), while leaving healthy blood cells unharmed, according to new research led by UCL and Univers

Novel biomarker beats leading diagnostic blood test at predicting Alzheimer's progression

Small loops of genetic material may be strong indicators of imminent Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, researchers showed that elevated levels of certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the blood nearly tripled patients' risk of developin
