Children who carry a particularly high number of genetic variants associated with ADHD also have a statistically greater risk of experiencing severe neglect and childhood maltreatment. This is shown ...

Obsessive compulsive disorder has many unknowns, including what causes it, why symptoms can differ so much between people, how medication and therapy for it actually work, and why treatment is ...

Scientists have been trying to identify the exact causes of Alzheimer's disease for many years, and while we know that pathologies like tau tangles and amyloid plaques are related to the ...

Almost 50 more genes have been flagged as being linked to Alzheimer’s, along with changes in activity in crucial cells that ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen, and their collaborators have discovered six novel genes with rare germline variants that associate with cancer risk. The findings are published today in Nature ...

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, and an estimated 90,000 new patients are diagnosed every year in the US alone. Scientists have tried to learn more ...

Aging is a natural process but who doesnot want to age beautifully? Although life expectancy has risen dramatically over the ...

New AI-driven research reveals how advanced machine learning models not only confirm known Alzheimer’s genes but also spot six new risk variants. Study: Machine learning in Alzheimer’s disease ...

A new Australian study suggests genetics may influence how sleep habits affect brain changes linked to Alzheimer's disease.

In conclusion, cell competition is a double-edged sword: although competition can be protective, ‘selfish’ behaviour of rogue clones may harm the host. The ease with which cell competition is ...
