AI-enabled drug discovery approach identified potentially game-changing treatment which has been advanced from the lab bench to an FDA Orphan Drug ...

The study found that when adjusting for variables like age, race, and underlying health conditions, women had a 31% higher risk for long COVID. When only age and race were accounted for, the risk ...

Some cats purr politely in the background. Calicos kick down the door, throw shade, and steal the scene. With their wild ...

(A) The patterns of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) in women resulting in mosaic (right female) or non-mosaic XCI (nmXCI). The presence of genetic variants can result in nmXCI females by (i) directly ...

Males tend to only have one copy of the Y chromosome, so it does not have the opportunity to go through genetic recombination, or the "shuffling of genes that occurs in each generation which helps ...

X inactivation is controlled by a complex genetic locus called the X-chromosome-inactivation centre (Xic ). A key gene within Xic is Xist, which encodes a non-coding nuclear RNA.

In the study, researchers examined blood samples from 181 people with SLE to determine which X chromosome was inactivated. Normally, one X chromosome is inactive in every cell, but in people with ...

Scientists have found a molecular link between altered X-chromosome inactivation and autoimmune diseases Updated - May 22, 2024 08:08 am IST ...

The inactivation of one copy of the X chromosome in female mammals may start to fail as they get older, which may be why women have a higher risk of autoimmune conditions such as lupus ...
