New research in mice identifies how non-DNA molecules in sperm transmit environmental information to the next generation.

He added that the antibody stability for six months found in the study is a good sign. Reacting to the conclusions drawn from the survey, immunologist Satyajit Rath noted that the research paper treats sero-positivity, or the presence of antibodies, as a surrogate for exposure to the virus, and sero-negativity as an evidence of protection against the pathogen conferred by smoking, vegetarianism, and other factors. “Nobody would interpret sero-negativity as evidence of protection, but only as ...

Imbalance of Developmental Networks Leads to Congenital Heart Disease December 16, 2020 An intricate balance of a complex mesh of genes determines the difference between normal development of the heart and congenital heart disease, a new study modeling TBX5 mutations in human heart muscle cells reveals. Congenital heart disease, an umbrella term for a variety of heart defects ranging from asymptomatic structural anomalies to severe abnormalities that disrupt cardiac function, is linked to a fe...

Read Time: Over two million babies, children, and adults in the United States are living with congenital heart disease--a range of birth defects affecting the hearts structure or function. Now, researchers at Gladstone Institutes and UC San Francisco (UCSF) have made inroads into understanding how a broad network of genes and proteins go awry in a subset of congenital heart diseases. "We now have a better understanding of what genes are improperly deployed in some cases of congenital heart di...

Various Genes Involved in Congenital Heart Disease by Angela Mohan on  December 15, 2020 at 3:01 PM Understanding how a broad network of genes and proteins go awry in a subset of congenital heart diseases, could help prevent and treat heart defects. The insights have been provided by the team of researchers at Gladstone Institutes and UC San Francisco (UCSF). "We now have a better understanding of what genes are improperly deployed in some cases of congenital heart disease," ...
