Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system reacts adversely to gluten. Eating gluten causes inflammation in the gut, which can damage the intestine and impair its ability to absorb nutrients.
Blood proteins may offer new clues to gut health in coeliac disease
Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor found outside of the brain in children, yet why some children respond well to treatment while others do not has remained poorly understood.
Scientists identify the neuroblastoma cells that signal poor outcomes
Two major international studies are providing new insight into how human milk is regulated, showing that some components respond to maternal nutrition, while others remain stable or reflect biological processes involved in lactation and infant growth.
New research reveals the remarkable complexity of human milk
Tardigrades, also called water bears, are famous for their ability to survive nearly anything. They protect themselves in extreme environments using proteins that researchers have developed into an efficient and effective strategy to preserve human red blood cells.
A trick from tardigrades could help human blood withstand freezing
ASTM Internationalβs medical and surgical devices committee (F04) has approved a new standard that provides details and considerations for planning and conducting a seal zone leakage assessment for stent grafts.

Researchers have shown that prenatal training may reduce the risk of postnatal depression in women, - but only if they have previously had a baby. This surprising finding is presented for the first time at the ECNP Congress in Munich.
Prenatal training may reduce postpartum depression risk in women with previous births
A new research project at the University of California, Riverside, has received funding to investigate whether a novel protein-based therapy can correct abnormal brain activity associated with Fragile X syndrome.

A common blood test already carried out during routine health checks may contain clues about a person's long-term risk of dementia, according to research being presented at the ECNP Congress in Munich and recently published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
Routine blood test may offer clues to future dementia risk
