Study takes a deep dive into the molecular biology of the brain in bipolar disorder patients

In a comprehensive study involving one of the largest-ever samples of post-mortem brains, scientists at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development, in collaboration with researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, have pinpointed significant differences in gene expression in two specific regions of the brains of hundreds of patients who had bipolar disorder.

T cells sometimes remain in the skin for years, research finds

Human immune cells not only circulate in the blood, but can also occupy certain tissues and sometimes remain there for years.

Tweaking carotenoids found to improve plant growth and increase yield

Manipulating the content of carotenoids, such as ß-carotene, has been found to improve plant growth and increase yield and tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity.

Specific gene variant linked with poor response to sublingual immunotherapy for allergies

Although sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has become an effective treatment option for many allergies, about 20-30% of patients don’t respond to SLIT for Japanese cedar pollinosis–a highly common disease.

Researchers observe cellular rejuvenation therapy securely promoting reverse aging in mice

Researchers at Salk observed no rise in cancer or other health problems in mice treated with an anti-aging regimen at the beginning of their middle age.

Research develops novel ways to recreate totipotency by cellular reprogramming

Adult cells in our bodies can only produce cells of the same type. A skin cell, for example, can only produce skin cells and not muscle cells. This restricts the therapeutic potential of mature cells.

Multi-omics approach help researchers study the disparity created by in vitro culture

Citrus is a significant and economically beneficial horticultural crop with nucellar polyembryony, which prevents hybrid offspring from being produced. Citrus is produced mostly through asexual methods like grafting and cuttings.

Research points to a common thread linking diverse neurodegenerative diseases

Take a cell-deep tour of a brain afflicted with Alzheimer's disease, and you will find minuscule clumps of protein that seem suspicious. Ever since the 1980s, when neuroscientists began identifying these protein tangles, researchers have discovered that other brain diseases have their own tangled-protein signatures.

Biosynthesis of cannabinoid precursor and other polyketides from amoebae

A research team at the Leibniz Institute for Natural Product Research and Infection Biology - Hans Knöll Institute in Jena, Germany has developed a new method to produce complex natural products in amoebae.

New technique controls gene activity without altering the DNA sequence of the genome

By combining CRISPR technology with a protein designed with artificial intelligence, it is possible to awaken individual dormant genes by disabling the chemical "off switches" that silence them.

Novel ways to increase SC-beta cell’s survivability and functioning via genetic manipulation

New advancements in the transplantation of stem cell-derived insulin-producing beta cells to cure type 1 diabetes have created substantial curiosity.

7 Mar 2022

Researchers use lipid profiling to determine risk for diabetes and cardiovascular diseases

According to a new study, simultaneous measurement of dozens of types of fats in the blood known as “lipidomics”, can predict the risk of type 2 diabetes.

7 Mar 2022

Researchers develop new method to detect the role of enigmatic gene sequences

Karolinska Institute researchers have recently developed new high-precision techniques for determining the role of these noncoding sequences.
