Trinity crew uncovers mutations connected with early onset dementia Kumar Jeetendra | December 22, 2020 Researchers at Trinity College Dublin today announced a significant advance in our knowledge of an early onset form of dementia which may also advance our understanding of conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. Adult onset Leukoencephalopathy with axonal Spheroids and Pigmented glia (ALSP) is an ultra-rare condition characterized by mutations in a gene named Colony stimulating …
Analysts recognize interface among ALS and collection of DNA-RNA hybrids in the genome Kumar Jeetendra | January 13, 2021 Researchers from the University of Seville and the University of Pavia have identified a connection between Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and the accumulation of DNA-RNA hybrids in the genome. The accumulation of these hybrids causes increased genomic damage and boosts genetic instability. This finding will make it possible to better understand the molecular basis of …
Protein alteration adds to degeneration of neuronal populaces in Huntington’s infection Kumar Jeetendra | February 1, 2021 A study in which UB scientists have taken part states that alterations in the levels of one of those proteins, lamin B1, add to the degeneration of distinct brain neuronal populations in Huntington’s disease. Caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene, this pathology features involuntary movements, cognitive deficit, and psychiatric disorders, and has no …
