Measles immunization campaigns in India accelerated declines in child measles mortality rates and averted 41,000-56,000 child measles deaths during 2010 to 2013.

Biophysical modeling and quantitative live-cell imaging converge to show that the century-old puzzle of somatic homolog pairing in Drosophila operates via a button model.

Robust temporal regulation of a developmental decision in migrating Caenorhabditis elegans neuroblasts is mediated through a strategy that combines transcriptional activation and feedback of a timekeeper gene.

A large-scale, sibling-based analysis of the Icelandic population spanning two centuries demonstrates an increase in maternal mortality rates after child loss on both sides of a major demographic transition.

Among European children, shorter telomere length and older DNA methylation age relative to chronological age were associated with poorer behaviors, while older age, as predicted by a novel immunometabolic clock relative to chronological age, was associated with greater cognitive maturity.

A mathematical model based on enzyme kinetics shows how the relationships between life expectancy, survival rates for children and adults, and national income change over time.

A panel of serum biomarkers, including dietary and microbial-derived metabolites related to the gut-brain axis, were identified as potential for tracking children at risk of early childhood developmental delays.

Across four samples of children, adolescents, and young adults, age-related higher similarity of dominant, development-specific fast sleep spindles and adult-like fast sleep spindles is uniquely related to stronger and more precise slow oscillation-sleep spindle coupling.

20 emerging issues in bioengineering that will have profound impacts on society have been identified.

Clinical prediction rules could help identify children at risk of slowed growth after an episode of diarrheal illness, and these rules may be generalizable to all children, regardless of diarrhea status.
