22-Jan-2026 Using advanced motion capture, URI study examines impact of motor skills on language development University of Rhode Island Despite the well-documented academic, cognitive, and social difficulties associated with persistent language disorders, predicting early-life language issues remains a significant challenge for researchers and clinicians. Using acoustic equipment and an advanced optical motion capture system to record facial movement, URI Communicative Disorders Assistant Professor Marc Maffei aims to improve outcomes for children with early language delays.
22-Jan-2026 Scientists unlocking the secrets of stress University of Otago Humans evolved a stress response to cope with imminent threats. But in the modern world, that same system can lead to chronic anxiety and depression. Now, a team of scientists at the University of Otago is using cutting-edge technology to understand why the stress system can sometimes become overactive – and how we can switch it off.
22-Jan-2026 Scientists explore nature’s bacterial killers University of Otago For over a century, scientists have been fascinated by bacteriophages, the tiny viruses that naturally hunt and kill bacteria. University of Otago researchers are turning to these microscopic assassins as a potentially powerful tool to fight bacterial diseases.
22-Jan-2026 How a bacteria-busting spray could help solve a meaty problem University of Otago University of Otago scientists are harnessing the power of peptides – the body's own tiny protein molecules – for a spray to help the red meat industry solve headaches around bacterial contamination and spoilage.
22-Jan-2026 Tracking health across a lifetime: Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 launches new follow-up as participants turn 60 University of Oulu, Finland One of the world’s most extensive birth cohorts is now entering later adulthood. At the University of Oulu in Finland, the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 (NFBC1966) is launching a major new follow-up combining decades of biological, social, and environmental data with modern digital health tools to examine how lifelong exposures and the genome shape health and ageing.
