Past research has often highlighted the effects that immune activation in pregnant women can have on the development of human embryos, for instance increasing the risk of a child developing psychiatric disorders later in ...
Kidney organoids provide a promising platform in vitro to model the mechanisms of kidney disease, however, they are limited by an existing lack of knowledge of their inherent functional protein expression. In a new report ...
Recent neuroscience studies have consistently outlined the role of the C9ORF72 gene in the development of some neurodegenerative diseases. These studies found that mutations of this gene increase the risk of developing amyotrophic ...
The human brain is probably the most complex organ in the entire living world and has long been an object of fascination for researchers. However, studying the brain, and especially the genes and molecular switches that regulate ...
