Lab-grown 'mini eyes' shed light on blindness in rare genetic disease

Genetic barriers, a warming ocean and an uncertain future for an important forage fish

Newswise – In vast oceans, one would assume that their inhabitants can travel very far and therefore populations of a species would mix freely. But that doesn’t seem to be the case for a vital forage fish called the sandeel. Sandeel is a small school of fish incredibly high in lipids, making it a fantastic …

CHOP researchers discover genetic variant linked to early childhood epilepsy

Newswise – Philadelphia, November 30, 2022 – Researchers at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have discovered a specific genetic variant in SCN1A, the most common genetic epilepsy, which results in early onset epilepsy, with clinical features distinct from other epilepsies. The researchers also identified a potentially effective treatment strategy. The results were recently published …

Failure to detect key signal allows astronomers to determine what early galaxies looked and weren’t

Newswise – Researchers were able to make key determinations about the first galaxies to exist, in one of the first astrophysical studies of the period in the early Universe when the first stars and galaxies formed, known as the dawn cosmic. Using data from India’s SARAS3 radio telescope, researchers led by the University of Cambridge …
