| New discovery may help reduce side effects of multiple sclerosis drugs Posted: 04 Mar 2022 03:29 PM PST Investigators have discovered how a drug for multiple sclerosis interacts with its targets, a finding that may pave the way for better treatments. |
| Possible common thread between many neurodegenerative diseases Posted: 04 Mar 2022 03:29 PM PST Researchers reveal a new fibril in diseased brains, one formed by a protein normally busy cleaning cells. |
| Researchers find 'genetic baggage' accumulates in the genomes of aging mutant animals Posted: 03 Mar 2022 11:12 AM PST You are probably familiar with the term that some people carry 'a lot of extra baggage.' Usually that term refers to that person's emotional history, but in genetics and our genomes, 'extra baggage' can also describe the transposons lurking in our genomes, a historical record of our genomes surviving traumatic invasions during evolution. Transposons are repetitive DNA sequences that have the capability to move (transpose) from one location to another in the genome (an organism's complete set of genetic instructions) and are considered important invaders of our genomes during evolution. |
