Higher risk of death for babies born just a few weeks early, study finds
11-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Just a few more weeks of pregnancy may mean the difference between life and death for premature babies. While babies born late preterm often are considered healthy, they have higher risks of complications at birth than babies born full term. Studies have shown that late preterm infants have a greater risk of respiratory problems, feeding difficulties, temperature instability, jaundice and that their brains are less developed than full term infants.

Cells passed from mother to child may be first step in developing new treatments for type 1 diabetes
01-22-2007 · EurekAlert!
For the first time, scientists have discovered that cells passed from mother to child during pregnancy can differentiate into functioning islet beta cells that produce insulin in the child. The same study also found that maternal DNA was found in greater amounts in the blood of children and young adults with type 1 diabetes than their healthy siblings and a control group, implying that they may be attempting to repair damaged tissue.

Some cases of autism may be traced to the immune system of mothers during pregnancy
02-11-2008 · EurekAlert!
New research from the UC-Davis M.I.N.D. Institute and Center for Children's Environmental Health has found that antibodies in the blood of mothers of children with autism bind to fetal brain cells, potentially interrupting healthy brain development. The study authors also found that the reaction was most common in mothers of children with the regressive form of autism, which occurs when a period of typical development is followed by loss of social and/or language skills.

Traumas like Sept. 11 make brains more reactive to fear
05-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
Even people who seemed resilient but were close to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 have brains that are more reactive to emotional stimuli than those who were more than 200 miles away. The Cornell University study is one of the first to look at the effects of trauma on the brains of healthy people.

Tumor vessels identified by unique molecular markers
06-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
Results from a new study have made it easier for scientists to distinguish between growing blood vessels in healthy tissues and those that are associated with tumors. This is a significant finding because this distinction, particularly at a molecular level, has remained elusive for quite some time. The research, released in the June issue of the journal Cancer Cell, published by Cell Press, has exciting implications for development of more selective vascular-targeted anticancer therapeutics.
