The Norwegian MoBa cohort MoBa is a population-based pregnancy cohort study conducted by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Participants were recruited from all over Norway from 1999 to 2008. The women consented to participation in 41% of the pregnancies (n = 112,908 recruited pregnancies)43,54. The cohort includes approximately 114,500 children, 95,200 mothers and 75,200 fathers. The

Brain organoids grown in the laboratory from human cells matured and developed traits similar to those seen in fetal and newborn brains. Credit: Irene Faravelli and Noelia Antón-Bolaños Researchers have grown brain organoids that mirror the development of the human brain for more than five years1 — and are the longest-lived organs made in a

Turbulent fluid flow is a persistent challenge in physics and engineering: it disrupts aviation and reduces the efficiency of wind turbines. In the body, disturbed blood flow can even contribute to problems in the circulatory system. Turbulence is also complex and unpredictable, so devising strategies to control it is notoriously difficult. Now, writing in Nature,
