The growing pains of orphan chimpanzees
Mothers may be shaping pre-adult growth and offspring muscle mass even without direct provisioning
Step toward ‘ink’ development for 3-D printing a bioprosthetic ovary
Findings a huge step forward in fertility preservation and hormone restoration
Plasticizers may contribute to motor control problems in girls
Scientists at the Columbia Center for Children’s Environmental Health (CCCEH) have uncovered a link between prenatal exposure to phthalates–a ubiquitous group of plasticizers and odor-enhancing chemicals–and deficits in motor function in girls. Phthalates are widely used in consumer products from…
Cumulative overweight pregnancies increase risk of maternal midlife obesity
New Rochelle, NY, January 6, 2020–Not only is excessive gestational weight gain (GWG) associated with increased long-term maternal weight, but a new study has shown that there is a cumulative effect of excessive GWG over multiple pregnancies. The study, which…

Persistent organic pollutants in mother’s blood linked to smaller fetal size
Pregnant women exposed to persistent organic pollutants, or POPs, had slightly smaller fetuses than women who haven’t been exposed to these chemicals, according to an analysis of ultrasound scans by researchers at the National Institutes of Health and other institutions.…
Diet has rapid effects on sperm quality
Sperm are influenced by diet, and the effects arise rapidly. This is the conclusion of a study by researchers at Linköping University, in which healthy young men were fed a diet rich in sugar. The study, which has been published…
Hematopoietic stem cell marker: A key player in the ontogeny of hematopoiesis
A group of researchers at Osaka University revealed that ESAM (Endothelial cell-selective adhesion molecule), a surface marker for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and vascular endothelial cells (ECs), played an important role in the ontogeny of hematopoiesis in mice, particularly in…
Mouse pups born from eggs derived from the granulosa cells that surround oocytes
By introducing a chemical cocktail to granulosa cells, researchers in China induced the cells to transform into functional oocytes in mice. Once fertilized, these oocytes were then successfully able to produce healthy offspring, showing no differences from naturally bred mice.…

A new role for a triple-negative breast cancer target
The protein, known to be implicated in an aggressive form of cancer, is also critical for normal mammary gland development during puberty, according to research in mice led by the University of Pennsylvania’s Rumela Chakrabarti

Eating too much — not exercising too little — may be at core of weight gain, study finds
Findings about children’s calorie expenditure challenge conventional wisdom and may provide clues for reversing global trends in obesity, Baylor University researcher says
Solving the puzzle of IgG4-related disease, the elusive autoimmune disorder
Scientists piece together the inflammation mechanism in IgG4-related disease, an autoimmune condition with no current cure, revealing possible therapeutic targets
The delicate water lily: A rose by another name?
Genome duplication event may have contributed to floral scent biosynthesis and other traits of early-diverged flowering plants

Mothers’ and babies’ brains ‘more in tune’ when mother is happy
Mothers’ and babies’ brains can work together as a ‘mega-network’ by synchronising brain waves when they interact. The level of connectivity of the brain waves varies according to the mum’s emotional state: when mothers express more positive emotions their brain…
Long-acting contraception has proven highly effective but is restricted by some hospitals
CU Anschutz researcher calls for more study into the impact of these restrictions on health care consumers
Clinical trial results in critical care medicine to be unveiled at leading UK conference
Results of three major critical care trials, and a fourth major international epidemiological sepsis study, to be unveiled at an international conference in Northern Ireland
Genomic insights: How female butterflies alter investment in attractiveness vs. fecundity
By analyzing the genomes of orange and white females of the clouded yellow butterfly, researchers have identified the location and key components of an alternative life history switch that is only expressed in females
