Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email New Curtin University research challenges views on screen time, revealing factors such as parental mental health and the type of screen being used may have some impact on child development. Led by Dr Amber Beynon and Dr Juliana Zabatiero from the Curtin School of Allied Health, the research looked at how children's and parents' use of various types of screens impacted infant development at 12 months of age and also considered factors such as parental mental health and socioeconomic status. Participants were from the longitudinal ORIGINS study, a collaboration between The Kids Research Institute Australia and Joondalup Health Campus which is following the health of 10,000 families to reduce chronic health conditions. The study revealed parental technology use was not associated with development at 12 months, nor was infants watching TV. Infants using mobile touch devices such as smartphones and tablets for just five minutes per day were weakly associated with lower developmental scores, however Dr Beynon said mental health, particularly of both parents, was a stronger factor influencing outcomes. "We're increasingly finding 'screen time' doesn't tell us the full story; we need to focus more on the context and the content of the screen use," Dr Beynon said. "We need to look at if parents and babies are watching content together, whether they're passively watching content or interacting with it -- and also of course what the content is. "There's a complex relationship emerging between technology, infant development and other family factors; for example, we found a mother's mental health was also related to the amount of time an infant used technology." Dr Beynon said she hoped the study and future research could help paint a clearer picture for how parents can navigate an increasingly technological world, while also looking after their children's development. "Screens are all around us, children are engaging with them from a young age -- and the screens aren't going anywhere so we need to try to work out how this could impact development," Dr Beynon said. "The message is often that small children shouldn't have any screen time whatsoever, but it's not as simple as that: it's really about how you're using the screen time and how the interaction is with the parents. "So hopefully we see less pressure and parental guilt around the use of screens because that's really unhelpful and can affect mental health itself; we really need to work on supporting whole families with a more holistic approach."

Breakthrough in scalable production of high-quality organoids November 25, 2024 Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH) Introducing the innovative 'UniMat' platform utilizing 3D engineered nanofiber membrane. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email A research team led by Professor Dong Sung Kim and researcher Dohui Kim from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has successfully developed a platform capable of scalable, uniform production of organoids that mimic biological functions. The project was carried out in collaboration with Professor Tae-Eun Park and researcher Hyeonji Lim from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNIST (Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology). This groundbreaking research has recently been published in the online edition of Nature Communications . Organoids are three-dimensional cellular constructs that replicate the functions of human organs, attracting significant attention in the fields of human organ development, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine research. However, the heterogeneity and low reproducibility of organoids present challenges for their scalable production, limiting their practical application in clinical trials and drug development processes. Additionally, current technologies face limitations in producing organoids at scale, falling short of meeting industrial demands. To address these challenges, the research team has developed a platform called UniMat (Uniform and Mature Organoid Culture Platform), which enables the scalable production of mature organoids. This platform is implemented using a three-dimensional engineered membrane made of extremely fine nanofibers -- about 1/200 the width of a human hair -- providing a structural environment that allows for uniform organoid formation while also enhancing nutrient and differentiation factor delivery through material permeability, which is crucial for organoid differentiation and maturation. Using UniMat, the team successfully produced kidney organoids featuring nephron structures and blood vessels similar to those found in human kidneys from human-induced pluripotent stem cells, achieving consistent quality and greatly improving production efficiency. Furthermore, they used UniMat to establish a polycystic kidney disease model, demonstrating the potential for standardized organoid-based disease modeling and drug evaluation. Professor Dong Sung Kim of POSTECH, who led the research, explained the significance of the study: "Through these research outcomes, we not only accelerate organoid-based R&D that requires high reproducibility and reliability, but we also expect to make significant contributions to the development of animal alternative testing methods, which are gaining increasing attention. By addressing both the quality assurance and scalable production challenges of organoids with UniMat, we have laid the foundation for the practical application of organoids in clinical and pharmaceutical industries." This research was supported by the Bio & Medical Technology Development Program, Mid-Career Researcher Program, and Young Researcher Program funded by the National Research Foundation of Korea and the Ministry of Science and ICT, as well as the Alchemist Project funded by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

Man United will be very glad they didn't sign £38m flop, left out for four games in a row

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen has been a revelation this year. Coen, in his first year with the team, has done yeoman's work in turning one of the worst running teams in the NFL for years into one of the best in the league in 2024. How well has he done? He's managed to get the Bucs into the top 10 in the league in both rushing and passing offense. That's never been done before in Tampa Bay since the stats became trackable, per FOX Sports' Greg Auman. One thing Liam Coen has brought to the Bucs offense is a rare balance -- Tampa Bay is 10th in rushing yards per game, 10th in passing yards per game. NFL has rankings going back to 1990, and Bucs have never finished in the top 10 in both in same year in that range (likely never). Naturally - and unfortunately for Tampa Bay fans - that's meant Coen has gotten some rumblings throughout the year about being a potential head coaching candidate in the offseason. That didn't stop in the Wednesday column from NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, who included Coen among his list of coaches who could be getting head coaching looks soon. Pelissero had the following to say about Coen: A former UMass quarterback who still holds school passing records, Coen spent a season in the arena league before going into coaching, where his résumé in recent years has been unique. He had two stints each with the Rams (2018-20, 2022) and the University of Kentucky (2021, 2023) before replacing Panthers head coach Dave Canales as Tampa Bay's OC this past offseason. The Buccaneers' offense has improved statistically, ranking fifth in scoring (27.9 points per game) despite Tampa's ongoing four-game losing streak amidst injuries to its top receivers. Coen has the demeanor and personality for a head job. He may get a look. It's not just the fact that the team has been productive on the field - and they obviously have been. It's been how he's managed to keep dialing up plays and concepts despite losing both of his top wide receivers. Some coordinators might have been satisfied to jam his offense down the throats of whatever reserve players might be stepping in, and that approach sometimes doesn't work. Simply put, some guys can't do what others can, and that's especially the case with stars like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. However, the Bucs have strong talent elsewhere, particularly with budding star tight end Cade Otton and a room full of talented running backs. The calls made to get them involved in the passing game the last few weeks have been nothing short of genius. They've been effective to keep the offense going and scoring enough points to win some games that the Bucs have lost because of issues on the other side of the ball. Depending on how the 2024 season plays out, the Bucs could have a whale of a decision on their hands. Todd Bowles now has a losing record as a head coach with the Bucs despite the team winning the division the last two years. Coen will likely attract significant interest around the league. The Glazer family and general manager Jason Licht will have to decide if they have had enough of the status quo, or if they're ready to try to hand the reins to their franchise over to an innovative coach on the rise and keep him from leaving the building.

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have both been suspended by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) after their highly-anticipated fight. The two men were given the mandatory minimum of days, which in this case, is a 24-day suspension after their fight in Arlington. TDLR have a stipulation in place where each fighter is required to rest for at least three days per round fought, and because the the YouTuber-turned-boxer and the former undisputed heavyweight champion only fought for eight rounds, they will be suspended for 24 days, according to MMA Junkie . Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor also will be banned from competing as well. With their fight going the distance, which Taylor won via a unanimous decision, the two stars will also be shelved for more than a month as a result of the fight, with the two being suspended for 45 days. Mike Tyson hid health problems from Jake Paul after fearing he would die before fight Jake Paul issues Mike Tyson fight apology as he makes major world title claim And while Serrano and Taylor's fight proved to be an incredible display of will and strength, Paul and Tyson's main event bout appeared to be anything but that. After a quick flurry from the 58-year-old early in the fight, Tyson appeared to tire quickly, with Paul taking advantage of his opponent's lack of stamina. After eight rounds of lackluster boxing , the 27-year-old was awarded a unanimous decision, with Paul bowing to Tyson in the waning moments of the final round. Speaking to his fans after the fact, Paul apologised for choosing not to knockout Tyson, despite promising he would do so. "I'm sorry I didn't knock him out," Paul began, with those alongside him agreeing he did the respectful move by not knocking down the 58-year-old legend. He also admitted to pulling his punches after he saw Tyson in a weakened state as the fight wore on. "After I'd seen him tired I didn't want to put too much hurt on him, but I wanted the fans to get a good experience," he continued. "But there was a point where my aggression and violence went away when I wasn't getting hit. I love Mike." Paul also added that fighting against Tyson was "different" compared to his previous bouts. In particular, he noted that his approach and being in a better headspace helped him calculate what Tyson was going to do and how to better prepare for what his 58-year-old opponent was going to do. "Fighting in a stadium, it is less personal and less loud so it is less nerve racking," Paul said. "Arenas are harder to fight in. Walk out, I was cool, calm and collected. "First round I was gauging his speed, and I managed to get his time pretty quick, saw how I could tag him up and touch him. The rest was pretty much history, I just out boxed him and had fun." With Paul proving he is one of the biggest draws in the sport, with over 100 million viewers tuning in at one point , the youngster believes he deserves a shot at facing some of the biggest names in the boxing. As a result, Paul believes he could be a champion in the coming years after defeating Tyson . "I think it could happen in the next 24 months. I truly, truly believe in my skills and my ability and my power. And the cruiserweight division is seemingly open for the taking on that timeline," he said.Merus announces First Patient Dosed in Phase 2 Trial of Petosemtamab in 3L+ mCRC

DETROIT (AP) — Starting in September of 2027, all new passenger vehicles in the U.S. will have to sound a warning if rear-seat passengers don’t buckle up.

The agency estimates that the new rule will save 50 lives per year and prevent 500 injuries when fully in effect, according to a statement. The new rule will apply to passenger cars, trucks, buses except for school buses, and multipurpose vehicles weighing up to 10,000 pounds. Before the rule, seat belt warnings were required only for the driver’s seat. Under the new rule, outboard front-seat passengers also must get a warning if they don’t fasten their belts. Front-center seats will not get a warning because NHTSA found that it wouldn’t be cost effective. The agency said most vehicles already have warnings for the outboard passenger seats. The rule also lengthens the duration of audio and visual warnings for the driver’s seat. The front-seat rules are effective starting Sept. 1 of 2026. Rear passengers consistently use seat belts at a lower rate than front passengers, the agency says. In 2022, front belt use was just under 92%, while rear use dropped to about 82%. About half of automobile passengers who died in crashes two years ago weren’t wearing belts, according to NHTSA data. The seat belt rule is the second significant regulation to come from NHTSA in the past two months. In November the agency bolstered its five-star auto safety ratings to include driver assistance technologies and pedestrian protection. Safety advocates want the Department of Transportation, which includes NHTSA, to finish several more rules before the end of the Biden administration, because President-elect Donald Trump has said he’s against new government regulations. Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, urged the department to approve automatic emergency braking for heavy trucks and technology to prevent impaired driving.
