A research team led by Prof. XU Zhiheng from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified Tapt1, together with its partner Suco, as important ...

Delivering a connection-building protein to star-shaped cells in the brain could reverse changes to neural circuits seen in ...

Genetic diseases that result from truncated proteins can be targeted by so-called nonsense suppression therapies—drugs that prevent protein translation from terminating prematurely. A new ...

A recent study links the FRYL gene to a new neurodevelopmental disorder in humans. They used fruit flies to establish that the loss of a functional copy of the FRY-like transcription coactivator (FRYL ...

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) approach that accelerates the identification of genes that contribute to neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, ...

Imagine a breakthrough in cancer treatment where only malignant cells are targeted, sparing healthy host cells; or patients with abnormal protein synthesis are treated to produce a healthy protein.

Patients with overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding (CHD2) gene can develop a very rare and severe neurodevelopmental disorder with profound implications for their ...

Emerging research has uncovered disturbing links between diabetes during pregnancy and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. A comprehensive meta-analysis published in The Lancet Diabetes ...
