This week’s roundup features research reinforcing the need for better universal surveillance for developmental delays and increased access to early intervention. This and more In The News.

Individualized Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is at the center of cardiac arrest research at CHOP.

This week, researchers elucidate mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA mutations, identify a new neurodevelopmental syndrome, and more.

Many parents working in private sector are turning to Medicaid and CHIP for children’s healthcare coverage. This story and more In the News.

CHOP researcher: Massively parallel single-nucleus sequencing offers key tool in cardiac biology and heart disease

Two-hundred attendees gathered for the first Lifespan Brain Institute Symposium to dig deep into the neurobiological development of mental illness.

The human genome provides a precise, biological blueprint of life. To implement this blueprint correctly, the genome must be read with great precision, but it's impossible for this process to be completely error-free. Mistakes during transcription - random errors in how DNA sequences are copied for a gene to be expressed - can happen any time in any number of ways.

CHOP Scientist: Ancient Mitochondrial DNA Genetic Patterns May Play Role in this Neurodevelopmental Condition

Energy continues to build for the role of the mitochondrion in health and disease, a field pioneered by Douglas Wallace, PhD, director of the Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

The year is off to a great start, with plenty of research news to report. This biweekly installment of In the News describes a new study in the emerging field of lymphatics, shares an editorial on advancements in neonatology, and highlights research to keep teen drivers safe.
