The inhalation of carbon dioxide (CO2) by mice a few hours after they formed a new fearful memory makes that memory stronger, so that the mice show more distress when they are prompted to 'retrieve' (ie, recall) it. That is the conclusion of a recent in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience by neuroscientists from the University […]
Beijing authorities have sealed off a mall and locked down several residential compounds over a COVID flare-up, as the latest outbreak spread to the Chinese capital’s central districts. China has largely curbed widespread transmission of the coronavirus through snap lockdowns, mass testing and travel restrictions, but authorities are on high alert after a nationwide spike […]
A new study finds that robot-delivered mechanotherapy decreased muscle damage and boosted muscle repair in mice with a severe skeletal leg muscle injury. The scientists also found that mechanotherapy caused a reduction in certain white blood cells responsible for inflammation. Next, scientists will need to confirm whether mechanotherapy has the same effects in humans with […]

Simple noncontrast CT alone may be just as good as advanced imaging in selecting stroke patients with late-presenting large-vessel occlusion for mechanical thrombectomy, a new study suggests. The CLEAR cohort study showed that in patients with a proximal anterior ischemic stroke undergoing mechanical thrombectomy in the late time window (6-24 hours after symptom onset), there […]
Danish children eat less than a third of the recommended amount of fish. A new study by researchers at the University of Copenhagen reports that this isn’t because kids don’t like fish—in fact, they’re wild about it. Therefore, parents should be conscious about getting fish onto the dinner table, according to the researchers. Fish is […]
