Researchers led by Shinghua Ding have uncovered MINA syndrome, a rare genetic disorder where a NAMPT mutation cripples energy production in motor neurons. The result is a slow loss of muscle strength and balance, but the work also points to new ways to protect nerve cells by restoring their energy supply.

The illustration shows a cutaway revealing the interior of early Earth with a hot, melted layer above the boundary between the core and mantle. Scientists think some material from the core leaked into this molten layer and mixed in. Over time, that mixing helped create the uneven structure of Earth’s mantle that we see today.

A SickKids led study has found that tiny repeated DNA segments called short tandem repeats vary not only in length but also in sequence, especially near brain related genes and across different populations. This hidden variation may help explain why people experience disease and treatment so differently and could guide more precise diagnostics and therapies.

Scientists in Vienna and London have shown that even years after an arm amputation, detailed movement commands survive in the nerves. By combining targeted muscle reinnervation with implantable microelectrodes, they can decode single motor neuron signals and link them to specific finger and wrist movements, opening the door to far more intuitive bionic prostheses.
