Fetal T Cells: Primary Responders To Infection In Adults
Cornell University researchers have discovered there is a division of labor among immune cells that fight invading pathogens in the body. The study finds for the first time that fetal immune cells are present in adults and have specialized roles during infection.
Effects of In Vitro Fertilization on Embryonic Growth
From previous studies, it is known that in vitro fertilization (IVF) can affect the size of the newborns. Children derived from fresh embryo transfer have smaller birth weight, and surprisingly, children derived from frozen embryo transfer have subtly higher birth weight in average
Obesity Epidemics in Rural America
Country folk are being hit harder by the U.S. obesity epidemic than city dwellers, two new government studies show.
