The team found that the loss of fly Ykt6 led to an abnormal accumulation of proteins involved in autophagosome formation and autophagic cargo receptor, indicating a block in the autophagy pathway.
The results of the research can pave the way for offering high-risk people preventative measures and early treatment in the future, said Professor Anders Borglum from the Department of Biomedicine at Aarhus University.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health fed antibiotics to fruit flies to better understand the role of bacteria in health and disease.
In an attempt to create new methods for cancer diagnosis and treatment, an international team of scientists, including a researcher from Sechenov University, reviewed scientific articles on proteins (and genes encoding them) that help cancer cells en
Scientists have renamed some 27 human gene symbols over the past year or so to prevent Microsoft Excel from misreading them as dates, said a media report.
In a significant find why autoimmune diseases are more prevalent in women than in men, scientists from the University of California Los Angeles have discovered that Father's X chromosome holds the clue.
For the study, the team included nearly 100 couples.
Jiankui had earlier this week claimed that he helped make the world’s first genetically edited babies — twin girls born this month whose DNA he said he altered with a powerful new tool capable of rewriting the very blueprint of life.
The scientists gathered in Hong Kong this week for an international conference on gene editing, the ability to rewrite the code of life to try to correct or prevent diseases.
The findings, published in Nature Genetics, more than triple the number of blood pressure gene regions to over 1,000 and means that almost a third of the estimated heritability for blood pressure is now explained.
For many years, research has linked educational achievement to life trajectories, such as occupational status, health or happiness.
"Nature has given us a template for creating a powerful and safe antiviral compound," said research leader Steven C. Almo.
The research, published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, builds on a previous study that also found that women are slightly more empathetic than men.
Environmental factors supply the stable conditions needed for reproduction of the trait in each generation, the researchers said.
The western diet is laced in bad cholesterol, fats and sugar. This might influence the development of Alzheimer’s disease in people who religiously follow it.
They contain a gene of an 'extinct' subspecies of human, denisovans
Scientists have identified genetic factors that influence our tolerance to shift work, an advance that may explain why some people can not handle constant disruptions to their daily rhythm. Covering the entire genome, the study
Gene therapy might one day offer a way to prevent and treat Alzheimer's disease, new study suggests. Scientists from Imperial College London in the UK have said that injecting a specific gene directly into the
New Delhi: Wonder what needs to be done to be asked out on a second date? Well, as per the scientists, you need to be genetically predisposed to have traits consistent with prevailing gender norms.
New York: If you have suddenly become choosy about your food choices, don't just blame bad food or environment. You may be genetically predisposed to become a picky eater. According to a new study, genes play
