Using genomic and transcriptional data has greatly improved the understanding of multiple aspects of human physiology. A new paper in PNAS reports on molecular-level associations of co-occurring ...
A new analysis of individual brain cells across several human brain regions reveals subtle but widespread differences in gene activity between male and female brains. This may help explain why some ...
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, ...
De novo genes are evolution’s magic trick—new genes appearing from non-coding DNA, much like a rabbit pulled from a hat. Once considered impossible, de novo genes have been identified in Drosophila ...
ALBUQUERQUE, NM and MEMPHIS, TN – November 25, 2025 – Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the protein that forms ...
Alzheimer’s may be driven far more by genetics than previously thought, with one gene playing an outsized role. Researchers found that up to nine in ten cases could be linked to the APOE gene — even ...
Studies show PCBs alter gene expression differently in males and females, with X chromosome mechanisms offering protection in ...
The working model shows the known and novel functions of OTULIN. OTULIN regulates proteostasis, cell death, inflammation, and cell survival/development. The sporadic Alzheimer’s disease (sAD2.1) iPSC ...
