Pitt School of Medicine and La Jolla Institute for Immunology collaboration reveals an opportunity for developing a therapy against the leading infectious cause of birth defects in the United States.

Researchers at the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University have developed a model that accurately replicates an extremely rare and sometimes fatal genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the GRIN2D gene. This mouse model allows the research team to study the disease’s characteristics and test a variety of drugs and genetic therapies, offering hope to affected children and their families.

A new national survey of 1,000 American adults commissioned by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine finds that stress and anxiety contribute most to a  short attention span (43%), followed by lack of sleep (39%) and digital devices (35%).
