Gestational diabetes in pregnant women could be linked to declining cognitive performance for mothers, while potentially increasing the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in babies, including autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These are the preliminary findings from an ongoing systematic review and meta-analysis of 48 observational studies involving over nine million pregnancies.The authors believe that given the increasing prevalence of gestational diabetes in pregnancies, their findings stress the importance of early screening of the condition.This may be essential in reducing and detecting such neurocognitive complications for both mothers during pregnancy and children after birth.“There are increasing concerns about the neurotoxic effects…
Butter beans provide plant-based protein and fiber to help you feel full for longer. Everything simmers in one pan for quick cleanup. These creamy beans ensure dinner is on the table in just 30 minutes. These Broccoli-Cheddar Butter Beans deliver comfort in every bite—like your favorite soup, but with an extra boost of fiber and plant-based protein from the beans. Tender butter beans create a creamy, rich base, while bright green broccoli florets add texture, freshness and a pop of color, balancing the richness of the melted cheese. As the ingredients simmer together in one pan, the mixture thickens into a consistency…
Depression isn’t always what we think it is. While many picture someone unable to get out of bed, the reality is that some people experiencing depression don’t slow down—they speed up. They overachieve, they stay busy, they excel at work and in relationships, all while silently suffering.
Phoenix and Eos SENOLYTIX to present dual approaches to tackling aging at the 2nd Senotherapeutics Summit. The second Senotherapeutics Summit in Rome will be a significant draw for anyone interested in the next frontier of longevity biotechnology. Senescent cells – damaged, non-dividing cells that accumulate with age and drive inflammation, tissue dysfunction and disease – remain one of the field’s most compelling targets. Removing or modulating these so-called ‘zombie cells’ has been shown in preclinical models to extend lifespan, improve organ function and even rejuvenate physical performance. For a sector still searching for its first validated, first-in-class therapy, senotherapeutics represent…
As you get older (heck, even starting in your mid- to late-thirties), bone breakdown gradually starts to outpace bone building. This is a shift that raises the risk of osteoporosis and fractures (especially after menopause). But the right lifestyle habits can help counter this risk and preserve the bone mass you worked so hard to build.
You can easily prepare this soup from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook using fresh or frozen corn.The soup uses simple ingredients that can be combined in one pot and cooked in about 30 minutes.Garten suggests serving the chowder with half of a grilled cheese sandwich for an extra-cozy meal. As schools coast to coast ease back into session, Ina Garten offers us a delightful recipe for a “perfect late-summer lunch when it’s a little chilly outside and the corn is still delicious.” This recipe is from her 1999 book, The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, and according to Garten, it is “easy to…
Cell culture media specialized for gene therapy production are uniquely designed to support the growth, viability, and productivity of cells used to manufacture gene therapy products, such as viral vectors (e.g., AAV, lentivirus, adenovirus). These media are critically important and distinct from general-purpose media due to the stringent requirements for safety, yield, and regulatory compliance in gene therapy. Fujifilm Biosciences reports that it has launched BalanCD HEK293 Perfusion A to expand and augment the company’s portfolio of gene therapy application solutions. The medium uses suspension HEK293 cells and perfusion technology to provide scalable production of viral vectors for development of gene therapies, according to Erik Vaessen,…
A prodrome is a premonitory or warning phase of a medical problem yet to come. It’s an early stage of signs or symptoms that happens before the onset of the typical symptoms.“Prodrome for MS has been discussed and studied more in recent years; 10 or 15 years ago, we didn’t necessarily think of MS as having a prodrome,” says Otallah.There is now more evidence to suggest that there may be some symptoms that occur in people well before their first demyelinating event or MS diagnosis, he says.Cognitive impairment is one potential symptom of prodrome that has been identified, says Otallah,…
Scientists reach for new scalable technologies to capture whole transcriptomes within single cells.Image credit:iStock, Alena Butusava Researchers increasingly turn to single-cell sequencing to answer a range of biological questions, with published single-cell data increasing year over year. As its popularity rises, so does the need for technologies that advance scalable single-cell studies. In February 2025, Parse Biosciences launched the Evercode™ WT Penta and Penta 384, a whole transcriptome single-cell analysis platform that enables researchers to profile five million cells and 384 samples in a single run.“A few years ago, it would be pretty typical to analyze tens of thousands of cells.…
We often talk about resilience on a grand scale—how you recover from major traumatic experiences or how the body bounces back against adversity. But what about everyday resilience? How do we foster a stronger tendency to bounce back from daily stress?
