Researchers show how mutations of gene transcription and chromatin regulation-related genes cause autism.
A new study identified 6 genes that seem to be essential for emotional response and interpreting meaning in life, ultimately shaping personality. These genes are present across various life forms, hinting at their fundamental role. The study also suggests that personality influences gene expression, potentially affecting health and lifespan.
Study reveals that learning triggers a series of molecular events including DNA damage and repair in hippocampal neurons, mediated by TLR9, crucial for memory formation.
The central dogma proposed that genetic information predominantly transfers from DNA to RNA during gene expression to make a functional product protein.
On the surface, the movement disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and the cognitive disorder frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), which underlies frontotemporal dementia, manifest in very different ways. In addition, they are known to primarily affect very different regions of the brain.
