For decades, scientists have understood that pregnancy requires a mother's body to modify so that her immune system does not fight the developing foetus as if it were a hostile foreign invader. Despite knowing a lot more about pregnancy immunology in recent years, a new study demonstrates that the cellular interaction between a mother and her baby is considerably more intricate and long-lasting than previously thought.

It is crucial to analyse and interpret brain signals in order to investigate brain illnesses and develop new remedies.  Although neural probes linked to the brain may detect small biosignals, they lack the ability to amplify and process them, necessitating the use of a second amplifier.

A study has provided fresh information on a vital subset of immune system cells required for successful vaccination against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic virus.

Under normal conditions, tau protein is a vital component of the brain's infrastructure, helping to stabilise neurons into their appropriate forms. However, tau can become tangled and toxic, harming brain tissue and generating tauopathies, a category of brain illnesses characterised by difficulties with learning, memory, and movement. The most prevalent tauopathy is Alzheimer's disease, although the group also includes Parkinson's disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and numerous rare hereditary diseases.

A team of researchers discovered a critical component for regaining functional activity after spinal cord injury in a recent study on mice. 

Puberty in both girls and boys with type 1 diabetes has shifted forward over the last two decades, according to research presented at the 61st Annual European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology Meeting in The Hague.
