New molecular pathway identified for early onset coronary artery disease

A novel molecular pathway to explain how a mutation in the gene ACTA2 can cause individuals in their 30s – with normal cholesterol levels and no other risk factors - to develop coronary artery disease has been identified, according to researchers with UTHealth Houston.

Children with mitochondrial disorders have weaker antibody response to viral infections, study finds

In a new study, National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers found that altered B cell function in children with mitochondrial disorders led to a weaker and less diverse antibody response to viral infections.

Study provides insights into the molecular mechanism of Batten disease

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis are a group of devastating neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders that begin in childhood. Mutations in CLN3 gene lead to a NCL called Batten disease, characterized by the progressive loss of vision, movement, and cognition.

Dietary restraint can reduce effects of obesity risk genes, study finds

Obesity risk genes make people feel hungrier and lose control over their eating, but practicing dietary restraint could counteract this.

Does the Mediterranean diet lower the incidence of type 2 diabetes among non-Mediterranean populations?

Researchers investigated the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes.

Candidate genes for inflammatory bowel disease identified

A study of the genetic variation that makes mice more susceptible to bowel inflammation after a high-fat diet has identified candidate genes which may drive inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in humans. The findings are published as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife.

New regulatory system discovered in malaria parasite

Gene expression within the apicoplast, an organelle in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is regulated by melatonin (the circadian signaling hormone) in host blood, and intrinsic parasite cues, via a factor called ApSigma, as identified by a recent study aided by Tokyo Tech's World Research Hub Initiative.

New AI tool can help track and identify complex fruit fly behavior

How can you tell if a fruit fly is hungry? Ask a computer. While that may sound like a bad dad joke, it's reality at Tulane University, where researchers have developed a new A.I. tool that can tell you if a fruit fly is hungry, sleepy or singing (yes, fruit flies sing).
