Thymus Established Earlier than Previously Thought

Our immune systems begin developing long before we are born. Immune cells are generated around 4-weeks after gestation and continue to grow while in utero. As a result, we are protected from infection and invading pathogen until we are born. Newborn infants are then exposed to new antigens and external stimuli in ...

Fat Cells Have an Epigenetic Memory That Explains the Weight Loss Yo-Yo

Obesity rates are increasing in the United States and around the world, and the condition has been linked to increases in the risks of a wide range of health disorders, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. There are many different weight loss ...

Brain Aging Reversed in Fruit Flies by Reducing Common Protein

Drosophila melanogaster, or fruit flies, are convenient research tools. It is easy and inexpensive to raise large numbers of them, they develop quickly, scientists know all about their genome and how to manipulate it, and they have many analogues to human genes that cause disease. Scientists have found that fruit ...

First Case of Maternal-Child Oropuche Virus Transmission Confirmed

Oropouche virus (OROV) was first identified in a human patient in 1955 in a fevered charcoal worker on Trinidad, a Caribbean island. Since that discovery, about 500,000 cases have been confirmed, primarily in Brazil and other parts of South America. But the virus caused the first confirmed deaths earlier this year ...

The Anatomy of a Migraine
