Smart people have better connected brains
In intelligent persons, some
brain regions interact more closely, while others de-couple themselves.
Differences in intelligence have
so far mostly been attributed to differences in specific brain regions.
However, are smart people's brains also wired differently to those of less
intelligent persons? A new study supports this assumption. In intelligent
persons, certain brain regions are more strongly involved in the flow of
information between brain regions, while other brain regions are less engaged.
HPV (human papillomavirus) jab means women only need 3 cervical screens in a lifetime, research suggests.
Women who have had the HPV vaccine can still be effectively protected from cervical cancer with fewer screens, suggests new research.
Women may only need three cervical screens in their lifetime if they have been given the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, according to a new study published in the International Journal of Cancer. The Cancer Research UK-funded team from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), found that three screens at 30, 40 and 55 would offer the same benefit to vaccinated women as the 12 lifetime screens currently offered in England.

Engineering non-immune cells to kill cancer cells
Researchers have reprogrammed normal human cells to create designer immune cells capable of detecting and destroying cancer cells.
T-cells are one of the immune system's major weapons. They detect the body's cells infected with a virus and trigger their ablation, effectively killing the virus. T-cells cannot do the same with cancer cells, however, as they do not recognise them as foreign cells and are therefore unable to eliminate them.
Eye and heart complications are
tightly linked in type 1 diabetes
People with chronic kidney
disease have much higher risk of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of
death for those with type 1 diabetes. In a new article researchers demonstrated
that the eye condition known as proliferative diabetic retinopathy also is
independently associated with cardiovascular disease.

Eating regular variety of nuts associated with lower risk of heart
disease
People who regularly eat nuts,
including peanuts, walnuts and tree nuts, have a lower risk of developing
cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease compared to people who never
or almost never eat nuts, according to a new study. The study is the largest to
date looking at frequency of nut consumption in relation to incident
cardiovascular disease.
Secrets of Ebola unlocked in the heart of devastating outbreak
In a comprehensive and complex
molecular study of blood samples from Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, published
in Cell Host and Microbe, a scientific team led by the University of
Wisconsin-Madison has identified signatures of Ebola virus disease that may aid
in future treatment efforts.
Strong maternal antibodies for
HIV ineffective for protecting infants from HIV
Researchers caution against using
antibodies to prevent transmission
HIV+ mothers who possess a strong
neutralizing antibody response may be more likely to pass the virus on to her
infant through breast feeding. In addition, infants born to mothers with a
strong antibody response are significantly more likely to have a serious
illness or death, regardless of whether or not they acquire the virus, report
investigators.
An experimental therapy which
involves a face-to-face discussion between a person with schizophrenia and an
avatar representing their auditory hallucination may help reduce symptoms, when
provided alongside usual treatment, according to a study.
Avatar therapy may help to reduce
auditory hallucinations for people with schizophrenia.
Injectable gel helps heart muscle regenerate after heart
attack
Researchers have used mouse models to demonstrate a new
approach to restart cardiomyocyte replication after a heart attack: an
injectable gel that slowly releases short gene sequences known as microRNAs
into the heart muscle.
Interrupted reprogramming converts adult cells into high yields of
progenitor-like cells
A modified version of iPS
methodology, called interrupted reprogramming, allows for a highly controlled,
safer, and more cost-effective strategy for generating progenitor-like cells
from adult cells. Researchers converted adult mouse respiratory tract cells
called Club cells into large, pure populations of induced progenitor-like
cells, which retained a residual memory of their parental cell lineage.
Moreover, these cells showed potential as a cell replacement therapy in mice
with cystic fibrosis.
