| Human choices in a simulated pandemic: New study tests interventions to foster safer behavior Posted: 25 Feb 2022 11:20 AM PST A new study has shown that it is possible to test the effectiveness of interventions designed to foster safer behavior in order to slow the spread of a virus. |
| ADHD linked to hoarding behavior Posted: 25 Feb 2022 10:56 AM PST New research has found that people with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are significantly more likely to also exhibit hoarding behaviors, which can have a serious impact on their quality of life. |
| Is migraine tied to complications in pregnancy? Posted: 25 Feb 2022 09:34 AM PST Women with migraine may have a higher risk of pregnancy complications like preterm delivery, gestational high blood pressure and preeclampsia, according to a preliminary study. Researchers also found that women with migraine with aura may have a somewhat higher risk of preeclampsia than women with migraine without aura. Auras are sensations that come before the headache, often visual disturbances such as flashing lights. Preeclampsia involves high blood pressure with additional symptoms, such as protein in the urine, during pregnancy, which can threaten the life of the mother and baby. |
| Advancing our view at the subcellular level Posted: 25 Feb 2022 08:39 AM PST Researchers have developed a new pH probe and imaging technique to provide researchers more information when studying diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. |
| Scientist links epigenetic biomarkers to gastrointestinal issues for kids with autism Posted: 25 Feb 2022 08:39 AM PST Researchers have identified specific RNA biomarkers linked with gastrointestinal issues in children with autism. The findings could help one day lead to individualized treatments aimed at easing the pain of these individuals. |
| What brain-eating amoebae can tell us about the diversity of life on earth and evolutionary history Posted: 25 Feb 2022 05:58 AM PST Researchers recently announced that an amoeba called Naegleria has evolved more distinct sets of tubulins, used for specific cellular processes, than previously thought. Their insight has a host of implications, which range from developing treatments for brain-eating infections to better understanding how life on earth evolved such enormous diversity. |
| California's push for computer science education examined Posted: 24 Feb 2022 08:37 AM PST Despite California's computer science education policies, gender, racial and ethnic disparities persist among the high schools that offer these courses, the students enrolled in them and the faculty who teach them. |
| The impacts from using genetic testing to track down relatives Posted: 24 Feb 2022 08:26 AM PST Genetic genealogy has become a popular hobby over the past several years, thanks to direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing and relative-finder services offered by some DTC genetic testing companies. Researchers now report results from a survey that asked people who had participated in these services what effect the discovery of previously unknown relatives had on their lives. |
| Cancer breakthrough reveals old drugs with new tricks may limit spread Posted: 24 Feb 2022 08:26 AM PST The treatment of cancer could be revolutionized by the discovery that existing drugs, used to treat depression and heart disease, could reverse key changes in cancer cells that are associated with their ability to spread. |
| Plant product shows promise in mouse model of Parkinson’s Disease Posted: 22 Feb 2022 10:45 AM PST A natural product from the dried root of a pea-family plant, potentially combined with an enzyme inhibitor, may provide hope in alleviating neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease. |
