Looking for cool uses of #3DPrinting in the #Laboratory, for a story in @nature.com. Any innovative widgets you've seen/made/used? We had a story like this in 2019, but we want to see what's new since then. Any suggestions are appreciated. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Five innovative ways to use 3D printing in the laboratory
As the cost of 3D printers tumbles, researchers have begun using them to make everything from bespoke equipment for experiments to realistic models of human organs.

Does ‘forest bathing’ improve health? Or does it just offer people a break from urban sources of harm? This article is part of our Nature Outlook: Lung Health. 🧪 🌍
How ‘forest bathing’ keeps lungs healthy
Wooded environments release organic compounds that seem to improve respiratory health, but the magnitude and mechanism of the effect remains unclear.

Most health and medical data are drawn from research on male bodies. That leaves a big research gap that impedes progress on improving treatments for women, writes @smjyoti.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Uncharted: Understanding women’s health across the body
Disaggregating data by sex is a powerful way to help develop better diagnostics and treatments for women — but researchers say it’s not used enough.

It's a transition that half the population is destined to go through. Yet scientists still don't fully understand how best to address the often disruptive symptoms of menopause, writes @lindanordling.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
The missing pieces of menopause science
Hormone therapy is back after decades in the shadows. But evidence gaps remain for treating perimenopause — often the most disruptive part of the menopause transition.

Clincial psychologist Julia Schechter explains in a Nature Outlook Q&A why girls with ADHD are harder to diagnose, and how undiagnosed girls face higher risks of bad outcomes than boys do, ranging from relationship issues to eating disorders and self-harm. #ClinPsych 🧪
Why ADHD goes undiagnosed in girls
Differences in how the condition presents in girls, and co-occurring psychiatric conditions, make detection more difficult.

Homeland Security doesn’t like it when we call ICE and Border Patrol “the Gestapo.” So let’s set the Gestapo aside. Instead I’ll use this thread to compare Trump’s thugs to other secret police and terror squads from different times and places. It’s tyranny, no matter where it comes from. 1/10🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵
The liver has a surprising rival for the title of most regenerative organ: the lung. It has a remarkable capacity to rebuild itself, with its specialised cell types moonlighting as stem cells. Could this be harnessed to help reverse disease? My latest for @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Could the regenerative power of the lungs help to reverse disease?
The ability of the lungs to rebuild themselves has long been underappreciated, now researchers are raising the possibility that it could help to tackle chronic disease.

For many parents, prying a teenager’s eyes from TikTok or Instagram is a nightly battle. For those whose children have ADHD, it can feel like a never-ending war. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Why teens with ADHD are so vulnerable to the perils of social media
For many young people with the condition, screen interactions are especially hard to resist — and intensify the mental-health challenges they face.

Tylenol remains the analgesic of choice for pregnant women, but potential links to ADHD have raised alarms. So far the science has found only correlation, not causation. www.nature.com/articles/d41....
Is paracetamol in pregnancy a risk factor for ADHD?
A common pain reliever taken in pregnancy might raise the risk of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, according to research in the past decade. But proof of cause and effect remains elusive.
