A molecular atlas of the hippocampus: Mapping RNAs and proteins at synaptic resolution

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research have mapped the molecular landscape of the mouse hippocampus, a region central to learning and memory. By combining RNA and protein profiling with advanced methods to isolate brain regions and synapses, the team identified thousands of molecules with distinct spatial patterns.

Portable printer developed for fabrication of origami devices

In the present times, origami-inspired three-dimensional (3D) devices are being developed, where a single sheet of material is folded into small devices. These devices are being developed for medical applications like stents or surgical tools; agricultural devices like soil-sensors; and efficient spacecraft radiators or solar arrays that are used in space technology. Along with innovation, it is also important to focus on sustainable technology that can fulfill human needs and is adaptable to environmental changes.

Team sports can lower blood pressure and improve function in patients with chronic diseases

New research from the University of Copenhagen shows that team sports are a highly effective and potentially life-extending form of exercise for patients with high blood pressure and COPD. Even after a relatively short training period involving team sports, participants showed significantly improved blood pressure.

🚬 Manipulating the body's endocannabinoid receptor may result in neuropsychiatric issues

Manipulating the body's endocannabinoid receptor may result in neuropsychiatric issues

Endocannabinoids are similar to the cannabinoids present in cannabis, but they are found naturally in the body. Endocannabinoids—and cannabinoids—work through a signaling system that supports neurodevelopment, but whether manipulating this system prenatally has long-lasting effects remains unclear.
