Helmholtz Munich and the University of Sydney have identified biological mechanisms that are shared across psychiatric ...

Forests cover almost one-third of the Earth’s land area, providing crucial benefits for both people and the environment. They protect soil and water, regulate the climate and safeguard biodiversity.

This valuable study investigates how stochastic and deterministic factors are integrated during cellular decision-making, particularly in situations where cells differentiate into distinct fates ...

Whether you are lucky enough to have a cat companion or must merely live this experience vicariously through cat videos, Felis catus is a familiar and comforting presence in our daily lives. Unlike ...

BACKGROUND: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is substantially influenced by genetic factors. Sarcomere function is intricately associated with other organelles, particularly the reciprocal regulation ...

Modern humans were essentially like waves crashing on a beach, slowly but steadily eroding the beach away.” With this vivid ...

Complex traits are influenced by genes and the environment, but especially the latter is difficult to pin down. This important study uses C. elegans to demonstrate that non-genetic differences in gene ...

Researchers have traced where and when the HIV protective mutation arose but also how it gave northern European ancestors a ...

Researchers believe that at least a part of its missing genetic component is caused by undetected rare and low-frequency variants. Most common variants have only small to modest effect sizes, which ...

Mounting evidence from genome studies indicates that, contrary to received wisdom, our species has undergone profound ...

Our study aimed at exploring the association of genetic variants in X chromosome and investigating ... Furthermore, we confirmed an increased frequency of 47,XXX in Asian patients with SLE. Infinium ...

Studies that focus on estimating disease heritability – that is, how much genetic differences explain differences in disease risk – usually attribute a substantial fraction of disease variation to ...
