New research from the University of Southampton and international partners shines a spotlight on the significant and often under-recognised role that fathers' health and well-being play in shaping pregnancy and child outcomes.
The key health and social indicators needed for a new global system to monitor people’s health before pregnancy have been identified for the first time by researchers at University College London and the University of Southampton.
After creating tiny biological “robots” or biobots, scientists have taken the quest to reimagine life forms a step further, adding nerve cells and observing how they self-organize and alter biobot behavior. The resulting neurobots take on new shapes and show unique behaviors. The researcher seek to understand the rules of self-organization for the nervous system, and ultimately how to work with those rules to guide neurons to new structures in the lab or restore existing tissues in the body.
People with Alzheimer’s disease often have other neurodegenerative conditions as well, including a less-understood disorder called frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). While a precise diagnosis of FTLD has only been possible during an autopsy, new research shows how clinicians may be able to diagnose people living with both Alzheimer’s and FTLD by evaluating neuropsychiatric symptoms. In a study published in Neurology, Brown University researchers found that compared to patients who have either of the two types of dementia alone, having both Alzheimer’s disease and FTLD is associated with greater likelihood of having known neuropsychiatric symptoms of both diseases.
