Tired of aggressively amorous males? These female frogs play dead (www.science.org)

Spring is a dangerous time to be a female European common frog. After a winter-long hibernation, these amphibians congregate in shallow ponds to mate and lay eggs. The gatherings can turn ugly fast; male frogs, which vastly outnumber females, will regularly harass, intimidate, and coerce their counterparts into mating....

MIT's Innovative Implant with Built-In Oxygen Generation Set to Transform Diabetes Care (www.theinnovativehorizon.com)

Type 1 diabetes is particularly a serious disease and its management has been a journey fraught with various challenges. But MIT engineering announces a revolution in the treatment of diabetes which can be potentially transformative. This innovation is an implantable device, containing not only insulin-producing cells but also...

Research Identifies Optimal Duration of Everyday Activities for Health Advantages (www.theinnovativehorizon.com)

In the age of speed and technology, people mistakenly believe that only hard and strict workouts can be useful for health. The Lancet Public Health, however, presents an enlightening perspective on the matter when it comes to new research.

Researchers identify link between gut bacteria and pre-clinical autoimmunity and aging in rheumatoid arthritis (medicalxpress.com)

While the bacteria in the intestine are helpful for digesting food and fighting infections, they have long been suspected to play an essential role in triggering rheumatoid arthritis. This chronic inflammatory disorder affects the joints.

Guide stars found as Euclid's navigation fine tuned (www.esa.int)

Euclid has found its ‘lost’ guide stars as a software patch has solved its navigation woes and the next six years of observation schedules have been redesigned to avoid stray sunlight: it’s the end of an interesting commissioning phase and Euclid will now undergo its final testing in full ‘science mode’.

Fear of the human “super predator” pervades the South African savanna (www.cell.com)

Wildlife’s fear of humans may, however, be far more powerful and all-prevailing, as recent global surveys show that humans kill prey at much higher rates than other predators, due partly to...

Study: How nutrients are used reprograms immune cells with implications for infection and cancer (medicalxpress.com)

A new study spearheaded by the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine lab has unveiled a previously unrecognized role for an essential nutrient in shaping the cellular landscape for one of the body's first lines of defense against infection, immune cells called macrophages.

Precise gene editing in human stem cells and neurons reveals links between genome organization and autism (medicalxpress.com)

Researchers have used CRISPR gene editing, stem cells and human neurons to study the impact of a gene that is commonly mutated in autism. This new study, published today in The American Journal of Human Genetics, ties mutations in the gene CHD8 with a broad spectrum of molecular and cellular defects in human cortical neurons.
