Multi-organ scRNA-seq reveals targeting pro- or anti-inflammatory regulators may be exploited for personalized treatment of immune diseases

Researchers performed multi-organ single-cell RNA sequencing of collagen-induced arthritis murine model to evaluate immune-mediated inflammatory disease alterations by characterizing the genome, organizing the organome, and prioritizing pathways in the multi-organ data.

Astrocytes exhibit stronger acid response with REM sleep in epileptic mice

Researchers at Tohoku University have shown that astrocytes - star-shaped glial cells that control the local ionic and metabotropic environment of the brain - exhibit an acid response with REM sleep in mice.

Wireless wearable sweat sensor patch imitates the 'spike signals' of sensory neurons

Human sweat contains chemical information including blood metabolites, ion concentrations, and nutrients. Monitoring this information using a wearable sensor can allow non-invasive (i.e. without blood sampling), real time health status tracking.

Epigenetic changes in the regulation of key stress gene detected in kids with abusive injuries

Epigenetic changes in the regulation of a key gene in the body's stress response system were detected in babies and young children with abusive injuries, as opposed to accidental, according to a pilot study published in the journal Pediatric Research.

Resistance exercise improves sleep and inflammatory status in sarcopenic older patients

Sarcopenia is the decline of skeletal muscle mass with age, leading to loss of muscle strength (to move objects, shake hands etc.) and performance (walking and making other routine movements effectively). It involves chronic inflammation and is associated with cognitive alterations, heart disease and respiratory disorders.
