April 20, 2022

Epigenetic markers of cognitive aging can predict performance on cognitive tests later in life, according to a study published in the journal Aging.

Mapping brain development at the protein level in unprecedented detail
Researchers at the University of Virginia have created the first comprehensive protein-level atlas of brain development, providing unprecedented insight into how the brain forms and potential implications for understanding neurological disorders. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, analyzed over 24 million individual cells from mouse brains, revealing detailed molecular pathways that guide brain development from early embryonic stages through early postnatal development.
Older patients can inadvertently be put at risk when they are taken off blood-thinning drugs
For patients with atrial fibrillation, the risk of stroke or heart attack from stopping anticoagulants usually outweighs the risk of bleeding, according to new findings from the University of Bath.
Stigmatizing language related to substance use in grants shows notable drop
The use of stigmatizing terminology in National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)-funded grant abstracts has decreased by over half since 2013 according to a new paper by researchers at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. However, one in four abstracts still contained a stigmatizing term in 2023.
Surgical approach has 'significant impact' on treatment of Crohn's disease
A surgical approach pioneered in Ireland could have a global impact on the treatment of Crohn's disease.
Many gluten-free foods are high in calories and sugar, low on fiber and protein, and they cost more: New research
U.S. consumers often pay more for gluten-free products, yet these items typically provide less protein and more sugar and calories compared with gluten-containing alternatives. That is the key finding of my new study, published in the journal Plant Foods for Human Nutrition.
