Renting Rather Than Owning a Home Linked to Faster Biological Aging

A new study has shown that renting a home, rather than outright home ownership, has been linked to faster biological aging – the deterioration and accumulation of damage in our cells.

Motherhood May Permanently “Rewire” the Mouse Brain

Pregnancy hormones can promote parental behavior in mice by altering a small region of neurons in the brain, suggests a new study. The research also suggests that this “rewiring” leads to stronger parental responses to pups.

Stem Cell Transplants May Safely Slow MS Progression, Suggests Study

A new study has suggested that stem cell transplants using a patient’s own stem cells can safely slow the progression of relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) and should be considered as the standard-of-care for severe disease.

New Technique Modifies Single Cells To Create Genetic “Mosaic” Organs

A new technique has been developed that allows different genes to be “switched off” in individual cells within an organ to create a “mosaic” of genetically modified cells, which shed light on the origins of a rare genetic disorder.
