Imagine DNA as a superhero, bravely defending our cells from constant attacks. But sometimes, these attacks cause damage, leading to a cellular crisis known as the ‘DNA damage response.’ As we age, our ability to repair this damage declines, which can contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. In ALS, both upper and lower motor neurons […]

The APOE4 gene variant has long been known as a major risk factor, but how it’s linked to the disease has remained elusive. Previous studies have shown genetic differences between APOE variants, but they haven’t looked at individual cells. Now, using cutting-edge […]
Imagine you have a complicated map with different routes, and you want to figure out which route is the best indicator of a problem.
