Placental molecule helps set the timing of labor in mice

Lowering a placental molecule shortened average pregnancies to 17 days 8.4 hours, versus 18 days 18.6 hours in controls; raising it delayed birth.Lowering a placental molecule shortened average pregnancies to 17 days 8.4 hours, versus 18 days 18.6 hours in controls; raising it delayed birth.

A chemical signal lowers energy output in blood vessel muscle cells

In experiments with blood vessel muscle cells, the signal also promoted an inflammatory state and impaired mitochondria, the cells’ energy-producing structures.In experiments with blood vessel muscle cells, the signal also promoted an inflammatory state and impaired mitochondria, the cells’ energy-producing structures.

Glaucoma eye-drop groups differed in osteoporosis risk

Osteoporosis was diagnosed in 13.3% of patients prescribed drops such as latanoprost, compared with 8.9% prescribed drops such as pilocarpine.Osteoporosis was diagnosed in 13.3% of patients prescribed drops such as latanoprost, compared with 8.9% prescribed drops such as pilocarpine.
