MYO1D mutation identified as a key factor in sperm defects and congenital conditions

The research uncovers a novel variant in the MYO1D gene that is linked to laterality defects, congenital heart diseases, and sperm defects in humans.

Alternative splicing may influence gene expression more than protein diversity

Alternative splicing is a genetic process where different segments of genes are removed, and the remaining pieces are joined together during transcription to messenger RNA (mRNA).

Study reveals key genetic markers for early onset bicuspid aortic valve complications

Genetic variants linked to a rare form of bicuspid aortic valve disease that affects young adults and can lead to dangerous and potentially life-threatening aortic complications have been identified by researchers at UTHealth Houston.

Eggonomics reveals racial disparities in U.S. egg donation payments

White women are paid up to eight times more for their eggs than Black women in the US, according to data uncovered by the author of a new book which exposes the lesser-known ramifications of egg donation.

American football head impacts tied to increased brain damage and cognitive decline

Repetitive head impacts in former American football players are linked to increased perivascular space volume, which correlates with cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. The study suggests that the force of head impacts may be more critical than frequency, with potential protective effects from β-blocker use.

Lightly roasted coffee: Benefits for overweight individuals

Study found that consuming lightly roasted coffee rich in polyphenols significantly reduced body fat percentage and modestly increased muscle mass in overweight or obese individuals.

Tau protein shows unexpected benefits in mitigating brain damage

A study by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children's Hospital, reveals that the protein Tau – a key player implicated in several neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer's disease – also plays a positive role in the brain.

Rare genetic mutation tied to increased risk of tuberculosis

Tuberculosis is a confounding scourge. It's the leading cause of death from infectious disease in the world, and yet it's estimated that those deaths represent perhaps 5% of infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb).

CD4 T cells found to be key players in tuberculosis defense

The body's first line of defense against tuberculosis (TB) involves immune cells that suppress lung inflammation instead of activating it, reported University of Pittsburgh and the Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard scientists today in Immunity.

Study explores link between prostate cancer treatment and Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University are searching for a better way to understand why many men with prostate cancer end up with Alzheimer's disease, and whether it's the standard hormone therapy treatment or an overactive immune response that actually contributes to the problem.
