Imagine the brain as a bustling city, constantly buzzing with activity. But sometimes, this vibrant metropolis can fall victim to a devastating disaster known as neurodegenerative diseases. These conditions, like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, are caused by the loss and dysfunction of neurons. However, a group of unsung heroes called piRNAs might hold the […]
Imagine trying to solve a puzzle using not just one picture, but multiple pictures from different angles. That’s what scientists are doing when it comes to understanding pediatric neurogenetic disorders. They’re using a multi-modal approach, meaning they’re looking at the brain in different ways – like using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to see the structure […]
Just like two unlikely friends who turn out to have nothing in common, multiple sclerosis (MS) and breast cancer may not be as closely connected as previously thought. Scientists delved into numerous studies and even used genetic variants to investigate if these two conditions share a bond. The search involved observational studies that analyzed data […]
