No Sign of COVID-19 Vaccine in Breast Milk Small UCSF study indicates vaccine safety for pregnant and lactating women Newswise — Messenger RNA vaccines against COVID-19 were not detected in human milk, according to a small study by UC San Francisco, providing early evidence that the vaccine mRNA is not transferred to the infant. The study, which analyzed the breast milk of seven women after they received the mRNA vaccines and found no trace of the vaccine, offers the first direct data of vacc...

By Thomas Andrillon, Chercheur en neurosciences à lICM, Inserm Shutterstock Our attention is a powerful lens, allowing our brains to pick out the relevant details out of the overwhelming flow of information reaching us every second. However, scientists estimate we spend up to half our waking lives thinking about something other than the task at hand: our minds are wandering. This is striking considering the potential negative consequences, from decreased school or work performance to tragic ...

IMAGE: Tanya Renner, Penn State “The study of plants can provide novel solutions for human welfare through improved crops,” said Tanya Renner, assistant professor of entomology at Penn State. “A key challenge is to efficiently select traits and underlying genes that exert similar functions when transferred from a donor plant to a recipient. We believe that some of the genes involved in carnivory — such as those involved in digesting insects and in maintaining leaf surfaces that prevent ...

Credit: Ludwig Cancer Research APRIL 28, 2021, NEW YORK - A Ludwig Cancer Research study has identified a previously unrecognized mechanism by which cancer cells of a relatively benign subtype of pancreatic tumors methodically revert--or "de-differentiate"--to a progenitor, or immature, state of cellular development to spawn highly aggressive tumors that are capable of metastasis to the liver and lymph nodes. The study, led by Ludwig Lausannes Douglas Hanahan and published in Cancer Discovery...

Share Florian Muijres has been awarded a prestigious grant to study what the mating dance of malaria mosquitoes in a swarm looks like. In this research, Muijres will collaborate with colleagues from the USA, Belgium and Burkina Faso. The study may offer a new possibility in the fight against malaria: preventing the mosquitoes from procreating. The Human Frontier Science Program has awarded a 400-thousand-euro annual grant for this three-year investigation. The basics of how malaria mosquitoes m...
