Aims: Our study seeks to understand how reading frequency (leisure and academic) and reading medium (print and digital) contribute to the development of text comprehension during Primary school in students with and without SEN.

Article Synopsis
  • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are shown to help reduce neuroinflammation and cognitive issues caused by binge-like ethanol exposure in adolescent mice.
  • The study administered MSC-derived EVs to mice treated with ethanol, observing significant reductions in inflammatory gene expression and restoration of myelin and synaptic function.
  • These findings suggest that MSC-derived EVs could be a promising treatment for addressing neuroimmune responses and cognitive dysfunction related to adolescent alcohol consumption.
