Stress alters neuronal balance in the developing brain
Infections, chemicals, stress – these environmental factors influence the risk of developing psychiatric or neurological disorders, especially if they occur before birth. The biological mechanisms behind this are still not fully understood. Researchers investigated the impact of glucocorticoids, a type of steroid hormone, on the early stages of brain development. They found a shift in neuron types, showing that the developing brain is more susceptible to external influences than previously thought.

Protective role of mitochondrial protein Mitofusin 2 in cellular health revealed
A European research collaboration has found that besides regulating the fusion of mitochondria, Mitofusin 2 also ensures protein quality control. This discovery could open up new routes to treating Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease / publication in ‘Nature Communications’

Ein neuer Schalter für die Zelltherapie der Zukunft
ETH-Forschende haben einen neuen Genschalter entwickelt, der mit einem handelsüblichen Nitroglyzerin-Pflaster auf der Haut aktiviert werden kann. Mit solchen Schaltern möchten die Forschenden dereinst Zelltherapien gegen verschiedene Stoffwechselkrankheiten starten.
Blood thinner side effects diminish over time
Blood thinners prescribed after blood clots in leg or lung initially increase the risk of bleeding, especially in women and elderly. But over time, this risk decreases and gender and age differences fade, a University of Gothenburg study shows.
Reduced prediabetes in people who ate broccoli compound
The chemical compound sulforaphane found in broccoli sprouts can be linked to improved blood sugar levels in prediabetes, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. This has been shown in a study conducted at the University of Gothenburg. The broccoli compound had a more significant effect on blood sugar levels in certain people.
