Report highlights huge gaps in antibiotics for children7:59 Antibiotic production from big pharmaceutical companies has slowed significantly in the last five years, leaving children in low- and middle-income countries particularly exposed to hard-to-treat infections, according to new analysis. Vaccine hesitancy linked to structural barriers rather than personal choice7:27 A Simon Fraser University study is pushing back against the "easy narrative" that not getting vaccinated is entirely a personal decision. Immune switch plays a critical role in successful pregnancies7:27 Early pregnancy depends on a remarkable act of coordination.

Decoding the neighborhood dynamics of Childhood Brain Cancer6:24 New research published in Nature finds that tumor cells within supratentorial ependymomas (SE) – an aggressive childhood brain cancer – cluster into distinct tumor cell populations. Much like a neighborhood in your hometown, each cell subtype within these "communities" has a specific (and previously unappreciated) role to play. New protein target for safer lung cancer therapy6:24 Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a protein linked to an increased risk of metastasis and recurrence in lung cancer. The findings are presented in a study that paves the way for new precision medicine approaches, particularly for older patients. MUSC’s new manual for navigating dementia6:24 For an estimated 11% of Americans over age 65 who have dementia and the over 11 million unpaid caregivers supporting them, there is no instruction manual for navigating life after diagnosis. A team of College of Nursing researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina is working to fill that gap. New digital shield against metabolic disease in youth psychosis6:24 A new clinic-ready web-based risk prediction tool called PsyMetRiC is now available to forecast the risk of young people with psychosis developing cardiometabolic disorders such as obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes. |
