It has been identified by an international team of researchers that a rare brain disorder is being caused by single mutation in one individual born during the Ottoman Empire. The genet...
The human Y chromosome has over the course of millions of years of evolution managed to preserve a small set of genes that has ensured not only its own survival but also the survival of men,...
A new mechanism to promote growth in damaged nerve cells as a means to restore connections after injury has been identified by University of Calgary's Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) researc...
There are growing studies in recent years concerning the use of different carrier materials for sustained-release and controlled-release of nerve growth factor in neuroscience research. ...
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is one of the most common cause of intellectual disability and occurs in one in every eight hundred births. It results from a chromosomal abnormality...
A new study has found that the extra copy of Chromosome 21 that causes Down's syndrome throws a spanner into the workings of all the other chromosomes as well. Using data from a set of...
Research has shown that the oligodendrocyte transcription family (Olig family) is widely expressed in the central nervous system of various mammals. It plays a critical role in central ...
For recording compound nerve action potentials, the distance between the two electrode tips can greatly influence the parameters used. To investigate the optimal parameters for these ...
Researchers at MIT have cured mice of a rare liver disorder caused by a single genetic mutation using a new type of gene-editing system based on bacterial proteins. The findings, descr...
Gene mutation that is responsible for a hereditary form of skin cancer melanoma has been discovered by researchers. The study has found that people with specific mutations in the...
For the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, percutaneous microballoon compression of the trigeminal ganglion is a brand new operative technique. However, it is unclear how the procedur...
A fully functional chromosome from the baker's yeast has been redesigned and produced by a team of scientists. The synthetic yeast chromosome, which has been stripped of some DNA se...
Mutations in the prickle gene in Drosophila could be responsible for more than just altering the bristles on the fly's body that point them to the wrong direction. Prompted by a collea...
People born with a rare abnormality of their chromosomes have a 2,700-fold increased risk of a rare childhood leukemia, researchers have revealed. In this abnormality, two specific chr...
A new study found how stem cells were able to repair nerve damage and restore its function in an animal model. The findings, published online today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation ...
