WOODBURY, Minn. — By the time Taylor Teske came to be sitting on an exam table in an obstetrician’s office in Minnesota, her medical records marked a devastating journey: nine pregnancies, one baby, eight miscarriages. The first miscarriage happened in June 2018, almost as soon as she found out she was pregnant. Teske told her boss at the vascular clinic where she worked that she was pregnant, and he asked if she wanted to sneak a look using the clinic’s ultrasound.

A research team from Japan developed an innovative methodology to detect Lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Based on a novel fluorescent chemosensor, the proposed system detects the endotoxin in a matter of minutes, making it suitable for on-site testing in hospitals and pharma manufacturing facilities. LPS, largely known as “endotoxins”, is a molecule which is found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, and can be very harmful to humans.

You may have heard of the term “MTHFR gene mutation” and may be wondering what it is. First, I’d like to say that I prefer the term “MTHFR gene variation” rather than “mutation.” The word mutation makes it sound like there’s something wrong with the person, while variation is more empowering – and in my opinion, also more accurate. While the word “mutation” implies an occurrence that is rare, unnatural, or flawed, the MTHFR gene variation is common.
