Gliomas are a type of tumor that occurs in both the brain and spinal cord.The study provides key information about gliomas’ size and growth rate.An important new hint for preventing and treating brain tumors known as gliomas has been discovered in research headed by the Lunenfeld-Tannenbaum Research Institute (LTRI) at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, as well as the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine. The discovery, which was published in the journal Science,…

When Walt Disney Co. DIS 0.85% reports its fourth-quarter earnings Tuesday afternoon, investors will be looking to see if the streaming business is making progress toward profitability and how well the entertainment giant’s theme parks did this summer.Disney beat expectations when it announced third-quarter results in August, reporting a 26% surge in revenue. That quarter included record results from the theme parks division, which has raised prices but also introduced…

The scientists found that asymmetry is influenced by a person’s experiences.The brain’s hemispheres are not equal.At first glance, the human body seems to be symmetrical: two arms, two legs, two eyes, two ears, and even the nose and mouth appear to be mirrored on an imaginary axis that divides most people’s faces. Finally, the brain is split into two nearly equal-sized halves, and the furrows and bulges follow a similar pattern. The initial impression, however, is misleading since there are small, functionally relevant…

NASA's InSight spacecraft's death is expected to be announced next week. Check the latest details here. It's a tale of a tragic end and a huge loss to humanity. NASA's InSight spacecraft is going to die soon. In a touching statement, the spacecraft said that the day is coming when it will fall silent forever, ending its nearly four years' journey on Mars. The Insight lander has been on a mission to reveal secrets of the Red Planet's interior. Now, the spacecraft's power generation capabilities have declined as dust has…

Barney Graham, a former scientist at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was thrilled yesterday when Pfizer announced encouraging results from an experimental vaccine that could protect against a major childhood killer. In a press release, the company said immunizing pregnant women* with its vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) protected their babies from severe disease for 6 months. If the full results of its…

The study examines genetic variations in the genomes of 34,462 people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and/or ADHD, and 41,201 control subjects without these diagnoses (a so-called GWAS, genome-wide association study). For each person, 8.9 million frequently occurring genetic variants have been examined, spread across the entire genome.Researchers have identified new gene variants that influence your risk of ADHD and autism. In the group of neurodevelopmental disorders, <span class="glossaryLink"…

This image alternates between Insight’s first and last selfies, for comparison purposes. Using the camera on its robotic arm, NASA’s InSight lander took these selfies on December 6, 2018 – just 10 days after touchdown on Mars – and April 24, 2022. A thick layer of dust can be seen on the lander and its solar panels in the latter image.

NASA’s InSight Mars lander reached the red planet four years ago and has worked well beyond the two years originally set for the mission. But in the coming weeks or perhaps months, the lander will make its final communications with Earth before falling silent for the rest of time. A gradual accumulation of martian dust on the lander’s solar panels have reduced its ability to retain power, and so it will soon be unable to continue its seismology work gathering data about the red planet’s interior. This week, NASA…
