Targeting newly discovered signaling pathway could boost the potency of cancer therapeutics

Cells zealously protect the integrity of their genomes, because damage can lead to cancer or cell death. The genome - a cell's complete set of DNA - is most vulnerable while it is being duplicated before a cell divides. Cancer cells constantly are dividing, so their genomes are constantly in jeopardy.

Study: 12-hour gene expression rhythms are missing or altered in schizophrenic brains

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, U.S. present the first evidence of 12-hour cycles of gene activity in the human brain. Publishing in the open access journal PLOS Biology on January 24th, the study led by Madeline R. Scott also reveals that some of those 12-hour rhythms are missing or altered in the postmortem brains of patients with schizophrenia.
