    Vaginal Fluid Transplants Could Cure Bacterial Vaginosis
    The Guardian

    BV can increase the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections.
    Transplanting vaginal fluids from one woman to another could help tackle severe cases of a common bacterial condition, a study has suggested.
    Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is thought to affect up to a third of women of reproductive age. It is caused when the balance of microbes in the vagina – known as the vaginal microbiome – becomes disturbed, with a drop in lactobacilli while other bacteria take over.

    A New Route to Blocking Children’s Bone Cancer

    Ewing sarcoma is a bone cancer that appears mainly in teenagers. Caused by a single defective gene, once it spreads to distant organs it is hard to treat. Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have now discovered molecular interactions underlying Ewing sarcomas and proposed a potential treatment that has shown promise in a study in mice. These findings were published in Cell Reports.

    Cell Diversity May Explain Why a Brain Cancer is Hard to Treat
    The Economic Times

    The Economic Times reports that one of the reasons glioblastomas are so hard to treat is that the cancer cells come in four types – and can move between the types. The research was conducted by Weizmann and an international team.

    Weizmann in Focus, Episode 9: Inhale Your Way to Success

    Fall is here and school is back in session. In the ninth episode of Weizmann in Focus, CEO Dave Doneson shares a simple tip to help prepare for success this academic year. Weizmann Prof. Noam Sobel, who studies the olfactory system, found that people who inhaled when presented with a problem-solving task performed better than those who exhaled. So, the next time you’re faced with a difficult task, take a deep breath!

    Brain ‘Ripples’ Appear Just Before You Remember Something
    Science News for Students

    One or two seconds before people recall an image they had previous seen, cells in a key memory center in the brain fire together, creating a “ripple” of activity.
    Seconds before a memory pops up, certain nerve cells jolt into action in sync. This new finding sheds light on how the brain stores and recalls information.
    Studying brain cells in action inside the human head is tricky. Putting electrodes in someone’s brain requires surgery. It’s not something researchers do without a good reason. The new study involved people who already had electrodes put in their brains for some medical purpose. These participants all had epilepsy. That brain disorder causes storm-like surges of electrical activity in the brain, known as seizures. Doctors put the electrodes in the patients' brains so they could pinpoint those surges.
