Discovery suggests method to offset antibiotic-caused harm to infant immune systems

2025-06-09

In 2017, scientists at Cincinnati Children’s revealed that using antibiotics to protect newborns from dangerous infections often comes with a long-term consequence—a permanently underdeveloped immune system that can make children prone to poor outcomes from future lung infections. Now a study published June 9, 2025, in Cell, details the mechanisms behind antibiotic-related immune disruptions, which in turn suggests a way to reverse or minimize the risk. "These remarkable findings indicate that we might be able to protect at-risk infants through targeted supplementation," says senior author Hitesh Deshmukh, MD, PhD, a neonatologist with the Perinatal ...

SNU researchers develop world's first 3D microphone capable of position estimation with a single sensor

2025-06-09

Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that Professor Sung-Hoon Ahn's team from the Department of Mechanical Engineering has developed a novel auditory technology that allows the recognition of human positions using only a single microphone. This technology facilitates sound-based interaction between humans and robots, even in noisy factory environments. The research team has successfully implemented the world's first 3D auditory sensor that "sees space with ears" through sound source localization and acoustic communication technologies. The research findings were published on January 27 in the international ...

Cryo-EM structures of isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase offers new therapeutic strategies for inherited isovaleric acidemia

2025-06-09

Background IVD is a key enzyme in leucine catabolism, catalyzing the conversion of isovaleryl-CoA to 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA. Defects in IVD function lead to toxic accumulation of metabolites such as isovaleric acid, resulting in isovaleric acidemia (IVA)—a life-threatening autosomal recessive disorder characterized by vomiting, metabolic acidosis, and neurological damage. Although IVD gene mutations are known to cause IVA, the enzyme's structural dynamics and complex substrate-binding mechanisms have long hindered ...

The findings were published in the journal Psychological Bulletin. “Children are spending more and ...

UC San Diego researchers find evidence of accelerated aging in children with multiple sclerosis

2025-06-09

Researchers from University of California San Diego School of Medicine have discovered that children living with multiple sclerosis (MS) show signs of accelerated biological aging, even in their teenage years. The research published online recently in Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, is the first to examine whether MS causes early aging in a pediatric population — offering new insight into the disease and its long-term progression. “We found evidence that children living with MS experience accelerated biological aging,” said ...
