Less sitting in pregnancy is linked to fewer adverse outcomes3:15 A JAMA cohort study of 470 pregnant women found that lower sedentary time, higher light-intensity activity, and more daily steps across pregnancy were associated with fewer adverse pregnancy outcomes. The findings support testing practical “sit less, move more” interventions, but cannot establish cause and effect. Wistar scientists develop new bispecific T cell engager to target ovarian cancer23:01 Wistar scientists have developed a new type of bispecific T cell engager, or BTE, that is effective against ovarian cancer in preclinical studies. Swimming can be clinically effective in reducing disability from chronic low back pain22:29 Australian research has shown for the first time that a program of swimming can be clinically effective in reducing disability from chronic low back pain. Repeatedly losing and gaining weight may accelerate muscle loss22:29 Repeatedly losing and gaining weight may do more than frustrate dieters - it also accelerates muscle loss in middle-aged people, according to new UC San Francisco research that comes as weight-loss medications transform obesity treatment. Innovative framework streamlines communication for pulmonary embolism care22:29 The Pulmonary Embolism Reporting and Data Systems (PE-RADSTM) framework for diagnosing and classifying acute pulmonary embolism using CT and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography was published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). City of Hope launches trial to map how tumors change during immunotherapy resistance22:29 City of Hope®, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States with its National Medical Center ranked among the nation's top cancer centers by U.S. News & World Report, has opened an innovative Phase 2 clinical trial designed to map how tumors change as they begin to resist immunotherapy, treatment that improves the immune system's ability to fight disease. New light-sheet imaging system tracks brain seizure dynamics in 3D22:29 Seizures can race through the brain in seconds, making them difficult to capture in detail. To overcome this challenge, researchers have developed a new high-resolution light-sheet imaging system that is fast enough to image seizure propagation in the brain of a larval zebrafish in 3D. Salk neuroscientists identify traveling brain waves as a computational engine21:57 Your brain has something surprising in common with the ocean: waves! Electrical activity washes over the brain's surface, creating what are called traveling brain waves or neural traveling waves. Early electroacupuncture intervention protects pancreatic function in prediabetes21:57 Prediabetes refers to a metabolic state in which blood glucose is higher than normal but has not yet reached the diagnostic threshold for diabetes. It may involve impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, or elevated glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and is closely associated with progressive β-cell dysfunction. New BRAF protein conformation opens avenues for cancer treatment21:25 Several types of cancer are triggered by mutations in a protein called BRAF. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have resolved a previously unknown conformation adopted by this protein during cell proliferation. |
