VIDEO: UNC study pinpoints gene controlling number of brain cells
The finding suggests that a single gene, called GSK-3, controls the signals that determine how many neurons actually end up composing the brain. This has important implications for patients with neuropsychiatric illness, as links have recently been drawn between GSK-3 and schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder.
VIDEO: Women urged to take charge of their eye health
UNC ophthalmologist Dr. Mary Elizabeth Hartnett is among experts who urge women to take charge of their eye health. "Three quarters of visual impairment is preventable or correctable. Women spend so much time caring for others, it's time we care for ourselves, beginning with our eye health."

VIDEO: Treating pregnant women for mild gestational diabetes reduces serious birthing problems
"This study is important because it clearly indicates the value to mothers and their newborns of screening for and treatment of diabetes-like conditions provoked by pregnancy,” said John M. Thorp, MD, McAllister distinguished professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the UNC School of Medicine and a co-author of the study.

Treating pregnant women for mild gestational diabetes reduces serious birthing problems
Treating pregnant women for mild gestational diabetes resulted in fewer cesarean sections and other serious birthing problems associated with larger than average babies, according to a study conducted in part at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
VIDEO: Health Care Reform 101
If you missed the health care reform panel discussion on Sept. 13, a video is now available online.
VIDEO: Reinvesting in basic research
Portions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) went to basic science research. Here's an example of how some of that money is being used in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine.
VIDEO: New N.C. Cancer Hospital commercials
Two new commercials premiered in the past few weeks to help promote the opening of the N.C. Cancer Hospital.
VIDEO: Blood vessels contribute to their own growth and oxygen delivery to tissues and tumors
The findings by Victoria Bautch, Ph.D., published in the Sept. 15, 2009 issue of the journal Developmental Cell, could give important insights into the formation of the vasculature needed to feed new tumors.
