Neural basis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder found in brain organoids

2025-09-22

Pea-sized brains grown in a lab have for the first time revealed the unique way neurons might misfire due to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, psychiatric ailments that affect millions of people worldwide but are difficult to diagnose because of the lack of understanding of their molecular basis. The findings may eventually help doctors reduce human error when addressing those and other mental health disorders that currently can only be diagnosed with clinical judgement and treated with trial-and-error medication approaches. Details about the insights appear today in APL Bioengineering. “Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are ...

Availability of respite care almost triples a palliative care patient’s chance of dying at home

2025-09-22

Access to respite services for family caregivers increases a palliative care patient’s probability of dying at home almost threefold, according to a McGill University-led study. Previous surveys suggest most Canadians with a serious illness would prefer to spend the end of their lives at home. In Quebec, fewer than one-in-10 palliative care patients die at home, a rate that has remained largely unchanged for two decades and lags behind the Canadian average of 15 per cent. Funded by Quebec’s health ministry as part of its action plan for equitable access to quality palliative and end-of-life care, the study set out to find which ...

A deep look into the unique structure and behavior of confined water

2025-09-22

Despite being one of the most familiar substances on Earth, water holds many secrets that scientists are still working to understand. When confined to extremely small spaces—such as within certain proteins, minerals, or artificial nanomaterials—water behaves in ways that are drastically different from its bulk liquid form. These confinement effects are critical for many natural and technological processes, including regulating the flow of ions through cell membranes and the properties of nanofluidic systems. One intriguing yet poorly understood state of ...

2025-09-22

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Scientists analyzed the distribution of three potentially harmful tick species in Illinois, identifying regions of the state with higher numbers of these ticks and, therefore, at greater risk of infection with multiple tick-borne diseases. The study found that, of the three species tracked, the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum, is most prevalent in southern Illinois; the black-legged tick or deer tick, Ixodes scapularis, is more common in northern and central Illinois; and the dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis, dominates the central and ...
