The Black Death may have influenced the evolution of genes involved in immune responses against pathogens

Researchers gathered empirical evidence that past pandemics due to infectious pathogens shaped the present-day susceptibility of humans to diseases, such as autoimmune diseases.

Coral genome reveals an alternative pathway for cysteine biosynthesis

Model animals, such as mice and fruit flies, have provided scientists with powerful insights into how cellular biology works. However, model animals are really just a guide, and it can be risky to generalize findings across animals from studying a selection of model organisms.

Combination of new testing methods helps identify multiple dementia risk genes

A new UCLA-led study has identified multiple new risk genes for Alzheimer's disease and a rare, related brain disorder called progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) by using a combination of new testing methods allowing for mass screening of genetic variants in a single experiment.
