Study links child behavior stress and lower self-regulation in parents

Any parent will tell you that raising a child isn't easy. While the experience can be filled with joy and love and fulfilment, emotional, financial and marital stress will present challenges to any family.

Noninvasive optical system measures blood flow with precision

Measuring how well blood flows to the brain is crucial for understanding a wide range of neurological issues, from strokes to migraines to traumatic brain injuries. Obtaining such measurements noninvasively, however, remains a challenge. The scalp and skull not only obstruct viewing the brain directly but also have their own blood supply, further complicating cerebral blood flow measurements.

Can strawberries help prevent diabetes? New trial shows promising results in prediabetic adults

Daily consumption of freeze-dried strawberries for 12 weeks improved antioxidant defense, reduced inflammation, and lowered fasting glucose in adults with prediabetes. The randomized crossover trial highlights strawberries’ potential as a simple, food-based strategy to enhance metabolic and vascular health.

Tracking daily blood pressure in pregnancy could predict low birth weight sooner

Early-pregnancy home blood pressure patterns reveal that even small cumulative elevations, not just high averages, raise the risk of low birth weight. Tracking daily readings above thresholds may improve early warning and maternal–fetal outcomes.

Gut bacteria found to make serotonin and boost intestinal motility

Researchers have identified Limosilactobacillus mucosae and Ligilactobacillus ruminis as human gut bacteria capable of producing serotonin by decarboxylating 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP). Their activity enhances intestinal motility and enteric nerve density, linking microbial serotonin synthesis to gut function and potential IBS mechanisms.

Fortress, filter, and gatekeeper: New insights into how the blood-brain barrier safeguards the brain

Researchers provide a comprehensive overview of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), detailing its cellular architecture, transport mechanisms, and role in protecting the brain from toxins. The paper highlights how BBB dysfunction contributes to neurological diseases and explores emerging technologies to overcome drug delivery challenges.

Babies born eight-ten weeks early can be milk fed from the start, study finds

A major study has found that babies born between eight to ten weeks early can be fed with milk through a tube in their stomach straight after birth rather than being given intravenous feeds through a drip.

Epidural stimulation and physical rehabilitation can enhance recovery in spinal cord injury patients

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes paralysis in roughly one million people worldwide, with incident cases rising yearly.

Predictive factors for physical activity behavior change after cardiovascular diagnosis

Brain connectivity patterns and environmental factors predict which older adults will successfully increase physical activity after receiving a cardiovascular diagnosis.

Researchers develop a novel approach to monitor CD8⁺ T cell activity over time

The ability of immune cells-particularly CD8+ T cells-to launch a rapid burst of proliferation inside tumors is key to the success of modern day cancer immunotherapies.

New discovery could someday help prevent breast cancer recurrence

Know someone who's been diagnosed with breast cancer? There's a good chance that person has received hormone therapy.

Stressful life factors early in life may triple the risk of developing psoriasis later

New longitudinal research reveals that severe stress caused by changes in family structure like divorce or separation experienced during the first year of life may triple the risk of developing psoriasis later in life.

Using placental growth factor to predict preeclampsia risk in pregnant women with sickle cell disease

In pregnant women with sickle cell disease, the risk of developing early-onset preeclampsia can be determined by measuring levels of a protein associated with placental function and development.

Cannabis and tobacco co-use linked to shifts in brain's 'bliss molecule'

People who use both cannabis and tobacco show distinct brain changes compared to those who use cannabis alone, according to a new study led by McGill University researchers at the Douglas Research Centre.

Genetic inflammatory signature defines depression subtypes and treatment response

Researchers led by Prof. Alessandro Serretti at Kore University of Enna have identified a genetic inflammatory signature that defines specific depression subtypes and influences how patients respond to antidepressant medications, according to new peer-reviewed research published today in Genomic Psychiatry.

Exercise can mitigate depression-like behaviors induced by high-fat, high-sugar diets

Researchers led by Professor Yvonne Nolan at University College Cork have identified specific metabolic pathways through which exercise counteracts the negative behavioral effects of consuming a Western-style cafeteria diet.
