    International League Against Epilepsy

    Some people with epilepsy also experience memory and learning issues, as well as depression or anxiety. A study in Australia screened people for these conditions at a seizure clinic, before anti-seizure medications had been prescribed. Compared with the control group, the people at the first seizure clinic had higher rates of cognitive and neuropsychological issues.

    More Patients Opting for Close Monitoring of Early Stage Prostate Cancer
    Yale Cancer Center/Smilow Cancer Hospital

    Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men (behind skin cancer), with varying levels of aggressiveness. It’s also the second leading cause of cancer death, behind only lung cancer. A new study led by Yale Cancer Center researchers at Yale School Medicine found a substantial increase in the adoption of active surveillance (AS) and watchful waiting (WW) treatment strategies over the past decade — an encouraging trend for men seeking less invasive treatment options.

    Consensus recommendations on navigating epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (Jeavons syndrome)
    International League Against Epilepsy

    Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia is a generalized epilepsy syndrome characterized by eye-closure-induced seizures or changes on the EEG, eyelid myoclonia--jerks of the eyelids and eye-rolling--with or without absence seizures, and photosensitivity. It appears predominantly in females and usually starts between the ages of 3 and 12.

    Protons and neutrons–known collectively as nucleons–are both the building blocks of matter, but one of these particles has received a bit more attention in certain types of nuclear physics experiments. Until now. New results published in Physical Review Letters describe a first-time direct glimpse of the internal structure of the neutron thanks to the development of a special, 10-years-in-the-making detector installed in Experimental Hall B at Jefferson Lab.

    New Technology Points to Unexpected Uses for snoRNA
    University of Chicago Biological Sciences Division

    Researchers from the University of Chicago recently developed a new approach for identifying new cellular RNA targets of snoRNAs. They uncovered thousands of previously unknown targets for snoRNAs in human cells and mouse brain tissues, including many that serve functions other than guiding rRNA modifications.

    A recent breakthrough in biotechnology promises to change the landscape of plant genetic engineering. Imagine a persistent invader—Agrobacterium—long used to deliver genes into plants. Despite its historical success, the journey has been fraught with setbacks, especially with crops that launch fierce immune defenses. But now, scientists have equipped this bacterial “invader” with powerful tools to conquer plant resistance, opening up new possibilities in agriculture and genetic research.

    Flower Power: Decoding the Cellular Basis of Floral Fragrance
    Chinese Academy of Sciences

    A recent study has unraveled the intricate cellular blueprint behind the iconic fragrance of Prunus mume flowers. Using state-of-the-art single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers have constructed a high-resolution map of gene expression within petal cells across blooming stages. This atlas not only identifies six key cell types but also pinpoints the genetic pathways responsible for floral scent production. These discoveries mark a significant leap forward in understanding floral scent biosynthesis and could open new doors to cultivating aromatic plant varieties and innovations in the fragrance industry.
