Movement disorder ALS and cognitive disorder FTLD show strong molecular overlaps, new study shows

Single-cell gene expression patterns in the brain motor and frontal cortex, and evidence from follow-up experiments, reveal many shared cellular and molecular similarities that could be targeted for potential treatment.

An avocado a day may improve overall diet quality, researchers report

Eating one avocado per day may improve overall diet quality. A recent study found that the participants who had an avocado per day significantly increased their adherence to dietary guidelines.

Blood test reveals best lung cancer treatment

Test for patients in England checks if tumours can be treated with pills rather than chemotherapy.

As we age, our cells are less likely to express longer genes

Aging may be less about specific 'aging genes' and more about how long a gene is. Many of the changes associated with aging could be occurring due to decreased expression of long genes, say researchers. A decline in the expression of long genes with age has been observed in a wide range of animals, from worms to humans, in various human cell and tissue types, and also in individuals with neurodegenerative disease. Mouse experiments show that the phenomenon can be mitigated via known anti-aging factors, including dietary restriction.
