A child’s preschool classroom may leave traces that are still visible years after finger painting, story time, and learning to count are over. A major research project involving Miami-Dade County students found that children who attended public school pre-K went on to perform better academically than those who received family-based childcare. The advantage was not […]

A team of paleontologists studying penguin fossils from Seymour Island found that ancient bird bones can preserve chemical evidence of past climate change. Ancient penguin bones from Seymour Island, near the Antarctic Peninsula, preserve more than the remains of the birds themselves. Paleontologists from China University of Geosciences (Beijing) found that their chemical composition can […]

Research involving older adults in India suggests that healthier short-range brain connections may help preserve thinking abilities as gray matter declines. Two older adults can have a similar amount of gray matter loss yet experience different effects on thinking and memory. Research from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at […]

A dual stem cell scaffold improved vision and eye surface scores in a small first-in-human trial for aniridia-related keratopathy. For people with ARK (aniridia-related keratopathy), progressive damage to the eye’s surface can gradually cloud the cornea and severely reduce vision. In a first-in-human clinical trial at Moorfields Eye Hospital and University College London (UCL), a […]

A study found that the measurement performed nearly as well as an obesity definition based on multiple body measurements. A tape measure around the waist may provide surprisingly useful information about obesity-related health risks. Rutgers Health researchers found that waist circumference can identify potentially unhealthy levels of body fat with accuracy comparable to more complicated […]

Machine learning identifies the likely “initiator” and enables new predictions about DNA mutations that can cause disease. Every human cell depends on tens of thousands of genes being switched on at the right time and in the right amount. Specialized stretches of DNA coordinate this activity, ultimately directing the production of enzymes, hormones, proteins, and […]
