When a good die fails test and gets scrapped, often no one notices, because false failures look identical to real ones. Yet across the industry, these phantom defects are quietly eroding yield, ...

Background: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are serious congenital anomalies affecting the brain and spinal cord. Despite widespread folic acid supplementation and food fortification programs, regions such ...

In the early embryo, a flat sheet of neural cells must roll up into a neural tube that will later form the brain and spinal cord. Understanding this process, which is known as neurulation, is ...

Candidate platforms centered around themes of accessibility, student engagement and transparency. Several candidates proposed projects that have been mainstays in USG elections, such as adding EBT to ...

Two-thirds of women in their child-bearing years have an increased risk for birth defects due to a lifestyle factor they can change, a new study says. These risk factors -- low levels of vitamin B9 ...

Analysis of U.S. survey data showed that two-thirds of reproductive age women had one or more modifiable risk factors for birth defects. Common risk factors included obesity, folate concentrations ...

One in 33 babies in the United States are born with birth defects. But a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is raising awareness of ways to lower that risk. The study points ...

CPUs and GPUs are old news. These days, the cutting edge is all about NPUs, and hardware manufacturers are talking up NPU performance. The NPU is a computer component designed to accelerate AI tasks ...

Spina bifida is a serious congenital condition caused by abnormal neural tube development during early pregnancy. While folic acid supplementation has dramatically reduced its incidence, cases persist ...
