Preeclampsia in pregnancy reduces risk of some cancers but raises endometrial cancer odds

Women with preeclampsia in their first pregnancy had a lower risk of developing breast, cervical, and lung cancer later in life, but a higher risk of endometrial cancer. The large Nordic cohort study also found that siblings of women with PE had a modestly reduced risk of cancer, particularly lung cancer.

Real time imaging reveals how visual experience rewires the brain

Scientists have long known that the brain's visual system isn't fully hardwired from the start-it becomes refined by what babies see-but the authors of a new MIT study still weren't prepared for the degree of rewiring they observed when they took a first-ever look at the process in mice as it happened in real-time.
