by Washington University in St. Louis A comprehensive analysis of federal data by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis shows people who have had COVID-19 are at an elevated risk of developing neurological conditions within the first year after infection. Movement disorders, memory problems, strokes and seizures are among the complications....

EMRK-1184 or MRE-721 Eµ-Myc lymphoma-derived cell lines were transduced with pdCas9a-SAM only or pdCas9a-SAM plus Bcl-2...
by Florida Atlantic University Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The prevalence, age of onset, and clinical symptoms for virtually all neuropsychiatric disorders differ between men and women. Among the disorders with pronounced sex bias are Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), where the ratio of males/females diagnosed is approximately 4 to 1. Whether this skewed...
by Jane Langille, Cornell University Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Weill Cornell Medicine investigators have identified definitive biological links between African ancestry and disease processes that affect an aggressive cancer type called triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Their analysis of TNBC tumors from a diverse patient population yielded a large set of genes whose expression differed in patients...
