Using sugar molecules for in vivo tracking of unlabeled stem cells

A Johns Hopkins Medicine scientist who spent 30 years figuring out how to put chemical labels into cells to track their movement in living tissues has found that certain self-renewing stem cells have built-in tracers - made out of sugars - that can do the job without added chemical "labels" when injected into mouse brains.

Maternal metabolic syndrome can switch on imprinted gene associated with NAFLD in offspring

New research from North Carolina State University has found that an imprinted gene associated with development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is switched on in mice who nurse from mothers with metabolic syndrome, even when those mice are not biologically related.

Cerebrovascular impairment persists months after severe acute COVID-19, UK study

Researchers in the United Kingdom have conducted an observational cohort study on hospitalized patients and have found that the degree of severity of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) predicts the occurrence of chronic cerebrovascular impairment. The study further suggests that the levels of cerebrovascular impairment are associated with worse cognitive, mental, and physical well-being.
