RIDICULOUS: Researchers want children born to overweight mothers to lose the weight artificially; resulting in a potential drug problem
Instead of encouraging the young to lose weight naturally, researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney, Australia are attempting to prevent weight gain among children born to overweight mothers artificially. In a flabbergasting new study, scientists say
Korean researchers say that mulberry leaf extract manages blood sugar levels
Researchers at Chonbuk National University Medical School in South Korea have found that taking mulberry leaf extract supplements can help lower blood sugar and insulin levels, as well as decrease triglyceride and total cholesterol levels. Earlier studies have found a link
Researchers correct genetic mutation that causes IPEX, a life-threatening autoimmune syndrome
Led by Dr. Donald Kohn and Katelyn Masiuk, the researchers engineered a ‘viral vector’ that would turn on the FoxP3 gene only in regulatory T cells — and not in other types of cells. Credit: UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research
Researchers track the birth of memories
Credit: stock.adobe.com How and when the ability to form and store memories arises are topics of great interest to neuroscientists. Now Yale researchers have identified three distinct stages in brain development that occur before episodic memories can form. Yale scientists
Researchers map previously unknown disease in children

Researchers answer decades-old question about protein found in Alzheimer’s brain plaques
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Alzheimer’s-affected brains are riddled with amyloid plaques, protein aggregates consisting mainly of amyloid-β. However, amyloid-β is a fragment produced from a precursor protein whose normal function has remained enigmatic for decades. A team of scientists at
Researchers discover new binding partner for amyloid precursor protein
Credit: CC0 Public Domain An international team of researchers has discovered a new binding partner for amyloid precursor protein (APP)—a neurotransmitter called GABABR1a. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes their study of a nonpathogenic version
