A study recently published showed that functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) may predict which high-risk, 6-month old infants will develop autism spectrum disorder by age 2 years.
World Health Organization (WHO) has updated Essential Medicines List with new advice on which antibiotics to use for common infections and which to preserve for the most serious circumstances is among the additions to the WHO Model list of essential medicines for 2017.
Molecular Biology 2017 aims to shed focus on the transnational nature of biotechnological research, with emphasis on both the
basic science as well as its applications in industry and academia. Latest researches, agricultural Molecular Biology, business models,
pharmaceutical Molecular Biology, medical Molecular Biology, cancer biology, immunology, genetics, protein engineering,
plant and environmental technologies, transgenic plant and crops, bio remediation, and microbial diversity research will be the subjects of discussion.
Merck, one of the worlds most renown science and technology companies, summoned experts from worlds organizations such as UN, UNICEF, UNAIDS, World Obesity Federation and McKinsey at the the company’s headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany, to discuss questions about the most urgent threats to our children’s long-term health, or what can be done both inside and outside the classroom? And how do schools, parents and communities share responsibility?
Have you ever found yourself craving a steak or a burger? The brain controls our feelings of hunger and also determines the types of nutrients we should be seeking out. Not much is understood about the brain’s regulation of nutrient-specific hunger, but in a new study published in Science, researchers identified the brain cells in fruit flies that regulate protein hunger and were able to control those cells, affecting what the animals ate. The study, was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), part of the National Institutes of Health.
NIH-funded clinical trial shows use of either drug improved vision and had few side effects.
Long assumed to be a mere “relay,” an often-overlooked egg-like structure in the middle of the brain also turns out to play a pivotal role in tuning-up thinking circuity. A trio of studies in mice funded by the National Institutes of Health are revealing that the thalamus sustains the ability to distinguish categories and hold thoughts in mind.
National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded neuroscientists have created a 3D window into the human brain’s budding executive hub assembling itself during a critical period in prenatal development. What’s more, they used it to discover and experimentally correct — in a petri dish — defective cell migration caused by an autism-related disorder.
Ferring Pharmaceuticals has launched two new resources to help women struggling with infertility. The products were launched during the National Infertility Awarenes Week.
Hemophilia A, also called factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency or classic hemophilia, is a genetic disorder caused by missing or defective factor VIII, a clotting protein. Although it is passed down from parents to children, about 1/3 of cases are caused by a spontaneous mutation, a change in a gene.
