          Neanderthal DNA Shapes Human Nose

          A specific gene inherited from Neanderthals may be responsible for the shape of our noses. The researchers found the gene contributes to nasal height and may have been inherited from the ancient human ancestor to help humans adapt to colder climates as our ancestors moved out of Africa.

          Breaking the Darkness: Reactivating Dormant Cells in the Retina Brings New Hope for Vision Regeneration

          Researchers discovered a way to reactivate dormant cells in the retina of mice to restore vision, without the need for transplantation. The team discovered dormant glial cells can be transformed into cells sharing properties with cone photoreceptors, which enable color perception, reading and driving. The approach, which uses two genes to transform MĂĽller cells into retinal neurons, could offer new hope for developing regenerative therapies to replace lost cells in retinal degeneration.

          Uncovering the Human Genome’s Secrets: 240 Mammalian Species Shed Light on What Makes Us Unique

          Researchers analyzed the DNA sequences from 240 mammalian species, showing how comparative genomics can shed light on how certain species achieve extraordinary feats and help scientists better understand the functional parts of the human genome. By identifying regions of the genomes that are most conserved across mammalian species, they pinpointed the genetic basis for uncommon mammalian traits, such as the ability to hibernate or detect faint scents from miles away. They also found genetic variants that are more likely to play causal roles in rare and common human diseases.

          Researchers Discover Protein That May Help Resist Dementia Despite Plaque Buildup

          Researchers have discovered a protein, neuritin, that is associated with cognitive resilience to Alzheimer’s disease and may delay cognitive decline. This protein helps retain neuronal connections, even when toxic substances such as amyloid beta plaques and tau tangles that cause Alzheimer's try to break them down.

          Identification of DNA Methylation Markers in Newborns for Increased Schizophrenia Risk

          Researchers identified DNA methylation markers that may indicate the risk of developing schizophrenia later in life in newborns. This breakthrough discovery could allow for early detection and intervention to reduce the impact of the disease. By studying blood samples collected at birth, the team was able to identify unique methylation differences in cell types that could become potential clinical biomarkers for future early detection of schizophrenia.

          A groundbreaking gene therapy proven successful in treating an inherited, blinding eye disease in dogs is now poised for clinical trials in humans with the rare condition retinitis pigmentosa. The therapy, which halts vision loss by introducing a normal copy of the CNGB1 gene, could potentially benefit around 2 million people affected worldwide.

          Unraveling the Genetic Mechanisms Behind Long-Lasting Memories in the Brain

          Researchers shed new light on the molecular and genetic basis of long-term memory formation in the brain. A new study reveals a single stimulation to the synapses of hippocampal neurons triggered numerous cycles where the memory-coding Arc gene produced mRNA molecules that were then translated into synapse-strengthening Arc proteins. From the findings, researchers determined a novel feedback loop that helps explain how short-lived mRNA and proteins create long-term memories in the brain.

          Genetic Driver of Anxiety Discovered

          An international team of scientists has identified a gene in the brain responsible for anxiety symptoms and found that modifying the gene can reduce anxiety levels, offering a novel drug target for anxiety disorders. The discovery highlights a new amygdala miR483-5p/Pgap2 pathway that regulates the brain's response to stress and provides a potential therapeutic approach for anxiety disorders.

          A new study of worms brings new insight into the workings of the endocannabinoid system and helps answer the question of why cannabis consumption enhances mood and gives people "the munchies". Researchers found cannabis consumption activates the endocannabinoid system and evokes cravings for higher calorie foods.
