  • Not just boys: The overlooked story of ADHD in women and girls
    on March 28, 2026 at 6:00 pm

    When people think about attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), they often picture a hyperactive young boy running around a classroom, not the quiet girl daydreaming in the corner, the chatty student who can’t finish her work or the mother who is chronically late and constantly searching for her keys.

    More than a quarter of a million people worldwide die from meningitis a year, a large new study estimated on Saturday, following a recent outbreak of the disease in the UK.

  • Natural competition between brain circuits may boost information processing
    on March 28, 2026 at 5:00 pm

    Over the past decades, neuroscience studies have painted an increasingly detailed picture of the human brain, its organization and how it supports various functions. To plan and execute desired behaviors in changing circumstances, networks of neurons in the brain can either work together or suppress each other, thus employing both cooperative and competitive interaction strategies.

  • Do you love sleeping with your pet? Science reveals there’s a tricky trade‑off
    on March 28, 2026 at 4:30 pm

    For some pet guardians, their pets are present in their lives from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed. This happens because cats, dogs and other companion animals are increasingly perceived as family members. I’m not talking about the distant cousin, for example, but the ones who really take part in our everyday lives.

  • Solving the oxygen problem in cell-based drug delivery
    on March 28, 2026 at 4:10 pm

    Implanting living cells as long-term drug producers could transform treatment for numerous diseases, but it is difficult to house the tiny workers in quantities high enough to ensure dosage needs are met while also keeping the cells alive and thriving. Researchers at Rice University and collaborators at Carnegie Mellon University and Northwestern University have now successfully integrated solutions to several persistent challenges to implantable drug factories into a single device. According to a new study, the Hybrid Oxygenation Bioelectronics system for Implanted Therapy, or HOBIT, shields a sufficient number of cells from the host immune system in a comfortably small volume while also providing access to oxygen and nutrients.
