Many forensic methods have never been scientifically validated – a major issue

MANY FORENSIC METHODS HAVE NEVER BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED, SCIENTISTS NOTE IN EDITORIAL Many of the “forensic science” methods commonly used in criminal cases and portrayed in popular police TV dramas have never been scientifically validated and may lead to unjust verdicts, according to an editorial in this week’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The authors

Introducing disease-resistant mosquitoes to help fight dengue and eventually malaria

Boosting natural ability of mosquito to fight disease could reduce spread of infection Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have genetically modified mosquitoes to resist infection from dengue virus, a virus that sickens an estimated 96 million people globally each year and kills more than 20,000, mostly children. The research, published

‘Minibrains’ breakthrough in neuro-research

Laboratory-made “minibrains” that show a primitive ability to think could transform research on neurological diseases and treatments, scientists say. The tiny balls of brain cells, each about the size of a housefly’s eye, have been created by US researchers who claim they could be mass-produced in large numbers. Grown from stem cells, the brains contain

Nearly Half of U.S. Seafood Supply Is Wasted

RESEARCHERS SAY WASTE ADDS TO OTHER PROBLEMS THREATENING GLOBAL SEAFOOD RESOURCES SUCH AS OVERFISHING, POLLUTION AND CLIMATE CHANGE As much as 47 percent of the edible U.S. seafood supply is lost each year, mainly from consumer waste, new research from the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) suggests. The findings, published in the

A Vaccine Alternative Protects Mice Against Malaria

Vectored immunoprophylaxis (VIP) injection triggers creation of antibodies that prevent malaria in 70 percent of mice A study led by Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health researchers found that injecting a vaccine-like compound into mice was effective in protecting them from malaria. The findings suggest a potential new path toward the elusive goal of
