Preventing Depression From Age-Related Vision Loss Depression is a common risk for people who've lost vision from age-related macular degeneration. A type of therapy called behavior activation can cut this depression risk in half.   Cool Temperature Alters Human Fat and Metabolism Men exposed to cool temperatures for a month had an increase in brown fat along with changes in metabolism. The finding hints at new approaches to conditions such as obesity and diabetes.   Isolated Cancer Cells May Lead to Personalized Treatments Scientists used a novel microchip-based method to isolate and grow tumor cells circulating in blood. The technique provides an important step toward personalizing cancer therapy.         Popular Stories from past issues:   Stem Cell Transplant Reverses Sickle Cell Disease in Adults Drug Improves Birth Rates for Women with Ovary Disorder Vitamin D Levels Predict Multiple Sclerosis Progression Gene Changes Identified in Most Common Lung Cancer   Low Levels of Lead Linked to Problems in Children NIH Research Matters is on Facebook!
