Type 1 diabetes linked to gut microbiome and genetic factors

A new study has revealed that the gut microbiome of children with a high genetic risk of developing type 1 diabetes is markedly different from those who have a low risk of the condition.

A brush with a notorious cat, my rabies education and the big bill that followed

I was just petting an orange tabby cat in my Falls Church, Va., neighborhood, a cat I’d never met before. He was very cute. And he was purring and butting his head against my hand. Until he wasn't.

Predicting post-traumatic osteoarthritis using simplified computational models

Knee joint injuries, such as ligament rupture, are common in athletes. As the intact joint ligaments offer a precondition for joint stability, ligament injuries are often surgically reconstructed. However, in many cases these injuries or surgeries can lead to post-traumatic osteoarthritis.

Motor-skill training reverses nicotine-induced brain damage in rats

Motor-skill training has proved capable of reversing brain impairments in rats treated with nicotine. This effect has been demonstrated in a recent study and, in the long term, the method may also come to be tested as an aid to human smoking cessation.

The collapse of a hospital empire — and towns left in the wreckage

The money was so good in the beginning, and it seemed it might gush forever, right through tiny country hospitals in Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and into the coffers of companies controlled by Jorge A. Perez, his family and business partners.

Mini kidneys grown in the lab could be used to better understand kidney diseases

An international team of researchers led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has grown 'miniature kidneys' in the laboratory that could be used to better understand how kidney diseases develop in individual patients.

Microgravity in space and its effects on the brain

Researchers from Russia and Belgium have found that space travel that leads to microgravity situations may have a significant effect on the brains of humans. Cosmonauts who travel in space have shown alterations in their brain connections especially those associated with movement and perception, explain the researchers.

Genetic risk for autoimmunity may be linked to differences in gut microbiome

Children with increased genetic risk of type 1 diabetes have different gut microbiomes than those with low risk, a new study found.

New circulating immune cell could help predict type 1 diabetes risk

A new Finnish study suggests that type 1 diabetes may in part be caused by a novel subset of immune cells. This is because these cells, called peripheral T helper cells, are found to circulate at a higher rate in children with type 1 diabetes of recent onset, as well as in healthy children who later develop the condition.
