To-be-moms please note: Depression and even mood swings during pregnancy may cause complications for babies, as they can sense their mother’s psychological state while in the womb, a new study has claimed. Researchers found that babies did best on tests of mental and motor abilities if their mother’s mood remained consistent before and after she gave birth. But if a mother’s mood changed — from either depressed to healthy, or from healthy to depressed — babies didn’t fare well in the tests, the researchers found.
‘Both sexes like multiple mates’:
Multiple mates are good for both males and females — at least when it comes to rodents, says a new study. An international team has carried out the experimental study on house mice and found multiple mating is beneficial for both males and females. They found polyandry drrove increased embryo viability in a vertebrate and the risks associated with multiple mating were outweighed by the benefits.
Protein tied to skin cancer found:
Scientists claim to have identified a protein which is linked to melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer. A team at the University of North Carolina has found that the protein, known as P-Rex1, is key to the movement of cells called melanoblasts.
