Study reveals surprising link between biological age and child development

Study explores the relationship between accelerated biological age in children, as indicated by telomere length and DNA methylation age, and various developmental outcomes. It aims to clarify the impact of accelerated biological age on growth, cognition, behavior, lung function, and puberty onset in European school-age children.

Scientists uncover key molecular culprit in ALS: PEG10 gene implicated in pathogenesis

UBQLN2 dysfunction in ALS leads to elevated PEG10 levels, suggesting a role for retrotransposon activity in the disease. PEG10's nuclear localization alters gene expression involved in axon remodeling, implicating it as a contributing mechanism in ALS.
