Discovery provides key insights into cellular mechanisms underlying female fertility

Female fertility depends on the successful growth and maturation of eggs (oocytes) within ovarian follicles. Within these follicles, the oocyte is surrounded by granulosa cells that supply nutrients, signaling molecules, and structural support essential for egg development.

New diagnostic tool bypasses blood-brain barrier to detect autism early

A study published in NeuroMarkers showed that a nanosensor can measure nitric oxide (NO) from patient-derived stem cells to distinguish autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from intellectual disability (ID), even when both conditions share the exact same genetic mutation.

Study finds no detectable short-term brain harm after one youth soccer season

A prospective European cohort study found that one season of competitive youth soccer was not associated with detectable short-term differences in cognition, behavior, balance, MRI measures, or blood biomarkers compared with noncontact sports. However, soccer players had higher preseason tNAA, GFAP, and NfL levels than controls, highlighting the need for larger, multiyear studies to clarify whether repeated heading has cumulative effects.
