PLCG2-P522R, a genetic variant that protects against Alzheimer's disease, enhances key functions of immune cells.
Researchers report that, at the molecular levels, aging may have originated at the beginning of the evolution of life. They suggest when it comes to genes, aging may not always be a negative trait, and may help an organism to survive.
Researchers discover a mechanism that may underpin the progression of glioblastoma brain cancer development.
According to a new study, slow wave sleep depends on the activity of calcium inside neurons.
A new study reveals the role circular RNA plays in brain function, including synaptic transmission and sensorimotor gating.
Using gene editing to disrupt a gene in the thalamus that codes for a protein that binds to GABA boosted the activity of delta waves and promoted deep sleep in mouse models.
Using CRISPR gene editing technology, researchers target the Shank3 gene in monkey embryos. Research backs previous findings of the importance of the Shank3 gene for brain development and its role in autism.
Researchers successfully use CRISPR-Cpf1 to correct Duchenne muscular dystrophy in both animal and human cells.
Researchers have successfully reduced some symptoms associated with fragile X syndrome in mice with the help of CRISPR-Cas 9 gene editing.
Researchers say the new technique can help prevent transplant rejection.
Using CRISPR, researchers have identified a new set of genes that may be implicated in both ALS and frontotemporal dementia.
Researchers use CRISPR gene editing technology to target GABA receptors in order to help treat mood disorders.
