(Press-News.org) About The Study: The results of this study demonstrate that permissive firearm laws contributed to thousands of excess firearm deaths among children living in states with permissive policies. Future work should focus on determining which types of laws conferred the most harm and which offered the most protection.

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 ...

New book: Machine Learning in Quantum Sciences
Cambridge University Press has published a new book Machine Learning in Quantum Science Machine Learning in Quantum Sciences co-authored by researchers from the University of Warsaw, offering both an introduction to machine learning and deep neural networks, and an overview of their applications in quantum physics and chemistry — from reinforcement learning for controlling quantum experiments to neural networks used as representations of many-body quantum states. The book appears at a time when artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly recognized tool for scientific discovery — a development recently recognized ...
Partnership to support Indigenous researchers, ensure that cancer research reflects the needs of Indigenous groups and that it results in better care
2025-06-09
June 9, 2025, TORONTO – The Canadian Indigenous Nurses Association (CINA) and the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR) today announced a new partnership to include Indigenous priorities in cancer research, build capacity for research with and within First Nations, Inuit, and Métis (FNIM) communities, and increase research participation to ultimately reduce the burden of cancers within these populations.
The organizations agree on the need to identify the unique cancer-related priorities of FNIM populations by supporting the training and advancement of Indigenous individuals working in cancer research and addressing ...

Screen time and emotional problems in kids: A vicious circle?
2025-06-09
Spending too much time on screens may cause emotional and behavioral problems in children – and those problems can lead to even more screen use, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
Conducted by an international team of researchers, the study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed 117 studies, encompassing data from over 292,000 children worldwide. The findings were published in the journal Psychological Bulletin.
“Children are spending more and ...
