Kidney volume-to-birth weight ratio as an estimate of nephron endowment in extremely low birth weight preterm infants

Scientific Reports
In humans, nephrogenesis is completed by 32–36 weeks gestation, with a highly variable total number of nephrons, ranging from 200,000 to over 2 million. Premature birth disrupts the development and maturation of the kidneys, leading to a reduction in the

Nurses Lived Experiences in Neonatal Intensive Care Units [PDF]

, 2013
Advanced technology is saving infants at earlier stages often only to see them die agonizing deaths or face lifetime infirmities. In this phenomenological study, 16 NICU nurses provided their experiences dealing with these patients, their families and ...

Treating Hearing Loss: From Cochlear Implantation to Gene Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cochlear implantation is the primary treatment for deafness, restoring functional hearing in over a million people. Recently, gene therapy has enabled biological hearing restoration in a small number of patients with OTOF‐related mutations. This perspective evaluates both approaches, concluding that cochlear implants will remain the standard for most ...

Suppressing Glycerol‐3‐phosphate Phosphatase and Enhancing Glycerol‐3‐Phosphate Shuttle Flux Crucial for High‐Efficiency Fatty Acid Production in the Fast‐Growing Oleaginous Schizochytrium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes an efficient oleaginous heterotrophic microalga, Schizochytrium, through chassis optimization and metabolic engineering, significantly enhancing fatty acid titers and productivities. It also identifies a regulatory mechanism that coordinates biomass and lipid synthesis, providing a rational target for metabolic pathway rewiring ...

Uric Acid Functions as an Endogenous Modulator of Microglial Function and Amyloid Clearance in Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Higher serum UA levels are associated with reduced AD risk in epidemiological studies. UA enhances microglial phagocytic capacity primarily by restoring CD36 and TREM2 receptor recycling that is impaired by Aβ exposure. Therapeutically, UA supplementation improves cognitive function and reduces neuropathology in AD mouse model by enhancing microglial ...

Microglial Feimin Alleviates Cognitive Impairment in High‐Fat Diet‐Fed Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microglial feimin deletion exacerbates lipotoxicity‐induced neuroinflammation and cognitive decline. In both in vitro and in vivo models, loss of feimin aggravated lipid droplet accumulation, IL‐1β/IL‐6 release, and neuronal injury through the PI3K–AKT–mTOR pathway, ultimately leading to severe neuronal apoptosis and cognitive impairment under high‐fat

Identifying Key Questions and Challenges in Microchimerism Biology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies key unanswered questions about microchimerism, the presence of cells from one individual living in another. Experts highlight how these cells may affect health, pregnancy, and disease. This study outlines research priorities and challenges in detecting and studying these rare microchimeric cells, aiming to guide future discoveries
