    Climate change: Future of today’s young people

    Research led by climate scientists from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) reveals that millions of today’s young people will live through unprecedented lifetime exposure to heatwaves, crop failures, river floods, droughts, wildfires and tropical storms under current climate policies. If global temperatures rise by 3.5°C by 2100, 92% of children born in 2020 will experience unprecedented heatwave exposure over their lifetime, affecting 111 million children. Meeting the Paris Agreement’s…

    AI model improves delirium prediction, leading to better health outcomes for hospitalized patients

    An artificial intelligence (AI) model improved outcomes in hospitalized patients by quadrupling the rate of detection and treatment of delirium. The model identifies patients at high risk for delirium and alerts a specially-trained team to assess the patient and create a treatment plan, if needed.

    The model, developed by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, has been integrated into hospital operations, helping health care providers identify and manage delirium, a…

  • Childhood brain tumors develop early in highly specialized nerve cells

    Childhood brain tumors develop early in highly specialized nerve cells

    Medulloblastoma is one of the most common malignant tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) in children and adolescents. It develops in the area of the cerebellum, which is responsible for movement coordination, among other things. Medulloblastomas enlarge rapidly, often grow into surrounding tissue and can also form metastases. The wide variety of this tumor group also makes it difficult to find the right treatment.

    A team of researchers at the Hopp Children’s Cancer Center Heidelberg…

  • A new class of molecules against cancer cells refractory to standard treatments

    A new class of molecules against cancer cells refractory to standard treatments

    Current anticancer treatments essentially target the primary tumour cells that proliferate quickly, but do not effectively eliminate specific cancer cells able to adapt to existing treatments and which exhibit high metastatic potential1. Yet metastases are responsible for 70% of cancer deaths.

    A French research team from Institut Curie, the CNRS and Inserm has just developed a new class of small molecules that bring about the destruction of cell membranes, and hence triggers cell death. Led…

  • Scientists map tongue’s sweet sensor, may lead to new ways to curb sugar cravings

    Scientists map tongue’s sweet sensor, may lead to new ways to curb sugar cravings

    Our attraction to sugar has grown to an unhealthy level. The average person in the United States now consumes more than 100 pounds of the sweet stuff every year, up from 18 pounds in 1800.

    With new research published May 7, in Cell, Columbia University scientists have taken a major step toward dealing with this public health crisis. For the first time, they have mapped the 3-D structure of the human sweet taste receptor, the molecular machine that allows us to taste sweet things. This could…

  • A culturally adapted obesity prevention for Latino families

    A culturally adapted obesity prevention for Latino families

    A University of California, Riverside-led research team has adapted an intervention for childhood obesity prevention to better serve Latina mothers, non-maternal caregivers, and families of low-income backgrounds in Inland Southern California. The study, spearheaded by medical anthropologist Ann Cheney, could make significant contributions to public health by ensuring that early childhood obesity prevention strategies begin in infancy with infant feeding and are culturally and linguistically…

  • Researchers restore antibiotic effect in the event of resistance

    Researchers restore antibiotic effect in the event of resistance

    Bacterial resistance negates the effect of antibiotics in the treatment of infection. Using mouse models, researchers now show that if antibiotics are administered with an enzyme called endolysin, the combined effect protects against infection by resistant bacteria in all bodily organs — including the brain, which antibiotics alone have difficulty reaching. The results are reported in the journal Molecular Medicine.

    The World Health Organization has identified antibiotic resistant bacteria…

    UK accused of ‘lying’ after thousands of weapons sent to Israel despite export ban – Middle East Monitor

    The UK government has been accused of “lying” about its arms exports to Israel after a new investigation revealed that thousands of military items, including munitions and armoured vehicle parts, were sent to Israel despite an official export ban. The revelations have sparked outrage, with calls for a full inquiry and the possibility of resignations.

    The findings come from a detailed analysis of Israeli import data conducted by the Palestinian Youth Movement,…
