Early detection of congenital cerebral ventriculomegaly can help prevent developmental disabilities

Early detection and treatment of congenital cerebral ventriculomegaly (CCV)-when a fetus's fluid-filled brain ventricles swell due to a condition called hydrocephalus-can help clinicians prevent developmental or neurological disabilities in affected infants.

Study uncovers genetic clues behind sex differences in Parkinson's disease

New research presented today (Wednesday) at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026 has discovered some of the genetic changes in brain cells that may help to explain why more men than women develop Parkinson's disease.

Gut microbiome changes can signal future type 2 diabetes risk

The presence of certain bacteria in the gut microbiota, and fluctuations in a person's metabolism, can be seen in people who go on to develop type 2 diabetes years later.

Estonian study highlights value of early genetic tests to identify hereditary cancer risks

In 2013, Angelina Jolie inspired a wave of testing for pathogenic variants of the gene BRCA1 by announcing that she carried a variant which left her at such high risk of breast cancer, she chose a preventive mastectomy.

Air pollution may impact genes involved in sperm development

New research presented today at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) suggests that exposure to air pollution may impact genes associated with sperm development, raising new questions about male fertility, pregnancy outcomes and offspring health.

Memory B cells reveal how nasal vaccines could stop respiratory infections earlier

A Science Immunology Review explains how memory B cells acquire diverse molecular, epigenetic, and tissue-specific programs that shape long-term immune protection. It highlights lung-resident memory B cells as a key target for mucosal vaccines, potentially improving control of airborne infections and reducing transmission.
