A new paper from the University of Kansas overturns the idea that a “risk gene” carried by millions of people worldwide influences production of type 1 interferon, a workhorse of the immune system. The work […]
A deep learning model has identified an imaging biomarker of chronic stress, according to a study to be presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, being held from Nov. 30 […]
A national study by University of Adelaide researchers is paving the way for more precise diagnosis and treatment for children with cerebral palsy.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the protein that forms toxic tangles in Alzheimer’s disease. The findings, published in Genomic Psychiatry, reveal that […]
Researchers from University of California San Diego have identified 11 genetic regions linked to delay discounting—the tendency to prefer smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed ones—shedding new light on how impulsive decision-making relates to both […]
Rutgers neuroscientist Peng Jiang and his neuroscience colleague Mengmeng Jin have made a discovery they say could reshape how scientists think about Alzheimer’s treatment.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Researchers have created an artificial intelligence model that can identify which mutations in human proteins are most likely to cause disease, even when those mutations have never been seen before in any person.This article was […]
A major genetic risk factor for delirium has been identified in a study that analyzed the DNA of more than 1 million people worldwide.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in each cell. Mistakes or failures […]
Combining genetic risk with cardiovascular disease risk factors—such as high LDL cholesterol, obesity, and hypertension—may predict who is more likely to develop dementia, according to a new study led by UC San Francisco.This article was […]
