Cracking the Code: Predicting Alzheimer’s Subtypes with RNA Modification

In the quest to understand Alzheimer’s disease (AD), scientists have turned their attention to a common RNA chemical modification called m7G. This modification plays a role in the development of many diseases, including AD. By analyzing gene expression data and immune signatures, researchers identified m7G-related AD subtypes and developed a machine learning model to predict […]
