Key factor in brain development revealed, offers insight into disorder
In the earliest days of brain development, the brain's first cells - neuroepithelial stem cells -- divide continuously, producing a population of cells that eventually evolves into the various cells of the fully formed brain.   view more (2008-03-27)

Research reveals emotional trauma parents face when a child is diagnosed with diabetes
Discovering a child has diabetes can be a traumatic and life-changing event for parents and researchers doubt whether many of them ever come to terms with it.   view more (2005-04-18)

A new link between stem cells and tumors
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg and the Institute of Biomedical Research of the Parc Cient√≠fic de Barcelona (IRB-PCB) have now added key evidence to claims that some types of cancer originate with defects in stem cells.   view more (2005-09-06)

Exposing chicks to maternal stress leads to long-term reproductive success

Is relationship health more important than sexual health for young women?
Young women's desire for trust in a relationship may be a contributory factor to more risky sexual practices on their part according to research by psychologists.   view more (2004-08-23)

Smoking habits during pregnancy may cause genetic instability in the foetus
The Spanish Pediatrics Association has recently awarded the Pediatrics laboratory at the University of Navarre for a research into tobacco and foetal genetic instability. The study, by Marta Zalaca'­n, was carried out in conjunction with the Department of Gynacology and Obstetrics at the Hospital Virgen del Camino. "It involved analysing... view more... (2004-11-30)

A unique arrangement for egg cell division

Assessing health risks of exposure to radiation
More accurate estimates of doses and health risks associated with occupational exposure to radiation can now be made thanks to the work of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Speaking at the Society for Radiological Protection`s Internal Dosimetry conference at the British Library today (23 October 2002), John Stather,... view more... (2002-10-18)

Treat me as a person not just a number, say patients
Not being able to see a doctor who knows you or with whom you have developed a relationship could have an impact on your personal care, finds a study in this week’s BMJ.   view more (2003-06-12)

Simple interventions could dramatically reduce rates of cot death in Europe
Six out of ten of all cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (cot death) in Europe are likely to be attributable to lying babies on their front or side, according to new research from the European Concerted Action on SIDS (ECAS) published in today's 'Lancet'. The findings also reveal that all-night bed sharing should be discouraged for all mothers... view more... (2004-01-14)

Researchers Look to Imprinted Genes for Clues to Fetal Growth Restriction in Cloned Swine
Researchers at North Carolina State University have found that intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which results in low birth weight and long-term deleterious health effects in cloned swine, is linked to a type of gene - known as an imprinted gene - found only in placental mammals.   view more (2009-07-21)

Postpartum anxiety delays puberty in offspring
Hormonal changes early in pregnancy cause maternal postpartum anxiety and behavior changes that can lead to a delayed onset of puberty in both birth and adoptive daughters, according to a new study conducted in mice.   view more (2009-06-11)

Aetiology of congenital heart disease explained
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have identified the mechanisms behind the serious, congenital heart condition that can sometimes develop in children of women with a rheumatic disease.   view more (2005-02-07)

World aides series : advances in research in prevention of mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission
'Although substantial progress has been made in preventing mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission in the past decade, critical research questions remain. Two perinatal epidemics now exist. In more-developed countries, integration of prenatal HIV-1 counselling and testing programmes into an existing antenatal infrastructure, availability of effective... view more... (2000-06-22)

Peas and beans get by with more than a little help from friends
The relationship between leguminous plants such as peas and beans and nitrogen-fixing bacteria is even closer than previously thought, with bacteria acting like an intrinsic part of the plant, according to research published in the journal Nature today. Researchers from the University of Reading and the John Innes Centre, Norwich, have found that... view more... (2003-04-14)

Rong Li Lab probes mechanism of asymmetry in meiotic cell division
The Stowers Institute's Rong Li Lab has characterized a mechanism that allows for asymmetrical cell division during meiosis in oocytes. By tracking chromosome movement in live mouse oocytes, the team discovered that chromosomes can recruit to their vicinity a protein called formin-2.   view more (2008-10-08)

Building brains: Mammalian-like neurogenesis in fruit flies
A new way of generating brain cells has been uncovered in Drosophila. The findings, published this week in the online open access journal Neural Development, reveal that this novel mode of neurogenesis is very similar to that seen in mammalian brains, suggesting that key aspects of neural development could be shared by insects and mammals.   view more (2008-02-19)

Major risk factors identified for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (p 185)
Results of European research in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how basic child-care strategies-such as preventing babies from sleeping face-down, using appropriate bedding, and discouraging bed-sharing with mothers who smoke-could reduce the risk of 'cot death' (sudden unexplained infant death syndrome [SIDS]). Four large studies were... view more... (2004-01-14)

World's first study on surrogacy reveals high quality parenting and no problems
Fears about the impact of surrogacy on the well-being of children and families appear to be unfounded, according to findings from the world's first controlled, systematic investigation of surrogate families, the annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology heard on Monday 1 July. In fact, the mothers of children... view more... (2002-06-29)
