Leukemia treatment breakthrough for babies
by Hayley Jarvis, Brunel University Comparison of K562-t(7;12) transcriptional landscape with t(7;12) patient signatures. A 177-gene signature of t(7;12)-patient gene expression extrapolated from published microarray and RNA sequencing datasets by comparison with other pediatric AML subtypes. The Venn diagram shows the 177 intersect genes. B 121-gene t(7;12)-specific signature inferred by comparisons of gene expressions of...

TALKING TO BABIES MAY CHANGE THEIR BRAINS
In the new study, researchers assessed the brain function of sleeping babies, aged five to eight months old, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans. They also outfitted these San Francisco Bay Area infants with a special, wearable device—a sort of “talk pedometer”—which recorded at least eight hours of all the nearby, clear speech in...
