Study reveals clues what makes the human brain distinct from others

What makes the human brain distinct from that of all other animals - including even our closest primate relatives? In an analysis of cell types in the prefrontal cortex of four primate species, Yale researchers identified species-specific - particularly human-specific - features, they report Aug. 25 in the journal Science.

Chinese researchers identify a new molecular mechanism of NASH pathogenesis

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), characterized by liver steatosis, inflammation and injury, has emerged as one of major causes for end-stage liver disease like hepatocellular carcinoma. However, what drives its progression?

Investigating the links between the rate of new cases, mutations, and selection in SARS-CoV2 virus

How many times in the last 18 months have you seen a map that looks like the one above? It looks like a population density map, but in fact, it is a case total for the COVID19 rates from Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Research Center (collected on 24 May 2022).

Facial recognition algorithms show genetic similarities in genetically unrelated look-alike humans

In a new study, researchers identified look-alike humans who were genetically unrelated using facial recognition (FR) algorithms for multi-omics studies.

Physical activity may play a major role in achieving longevity than genetics

Previous research has shown that low physical activity and greater time spent sitting are associated with a higher risk of death. Does risk change if a person is genetically predisposed to live a long life?

Researchers identify a potential new therapeutic approach to fight angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma

A type of blood cell cancer called angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) can develop as mutations accumulate with age in the stem cells from which the T cells in the blood develop.
