Could the immune system hold clues to preterm birth?

New research from E. Rackaityte, et al. identifies autoantibodies linked to early labor in some pregnancies, opening doors to better risk prediction and potential treatments.

How does a small pool of stem cells build a brain with hundreds of cell types, each in the right place? A new Nature paper from UCSF and the Allen Institute follows the forebrain's family tree to find out. Read the paper in Nature: https://t.co/1WdFnGYBze

A major milestone for California research — @CAGovernor Newsom has signed SB 895, the California Science and Health Research Bond Act, placing $7.5 billion in research funding before California voters on the March 2028 ballot.

Reaching this point took an extraordinary effort from researchers, students, patients, and advocates from across California.

To everyone who spoke up in support of investing in California research: thank you.

Many scientists have long thought that a single type of starter cell gives rise to the entire brain. But experiments now challenge that fundamental picture, providing evidence that it takes not one but two flavours of progenitor cell to make the complex organ.

Spoiler alert: you have two brains. The front of your brain and the back of your brain were never the same organ. They start as two different cells, in two different places, and they have been separate lineages for something like 550 million years.
