SAN ANTONIO, March 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be preventable if parents avoid toxic exposures and adopt interventions such as environmental house calls, according to a published study led by researchers from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio).

Key Points: 
  • The findings build on a 2015 study by UT Health San Antonio that first linked chemical intolerance in patients with the risk of their children developing autism and ADHD.
  • "Up to now, most interventions have been behavioral or medical, after a child is diagnosed."
  • Still, they wrote, "The implications of this study, if confirmed, could be significant for preventive measures and early intervention strategies in families with parental chemical intolerance.
  • And the prevalence of ADHD has risen to one in eight children, also according to the CDC.

CINCINNATI , March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanks to an unusual application of game theory and machine learning technology, a large team of scientists led by experts at Cincinnati Children's has published the world's most detailed "atlas" of the many types of stem cells and early progenitors involved in producing human blood from diverse donors.

Key Points: 
  • The team has identified more than 80 distinct subsets of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) – early-stage cells that kick off production of mature red cells, white cells and other elements of our complex blood system.
  • Among the team's key findings:
    Mixing a new "cocktail" of 132 antibodies that can target surface proteins on HSPCs and related cells.
  • Testing demonstrated that the new mix outperforms commercial products for profiling human bone marrow cells.
  • One of the most immediate potential applications of the new stem cell atlas centers on how treatment centers monitor patients receiving therapies for leukemia.
