A new biochemical pathway linked to diet and body weight hints at the possibility of a new class of anti-obesity drugs, Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues have found. The newly ...

The neuropeptides oxytocin and vasotocin are predominantly produced in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the anterior-inferior, anterior-superior and tubular-superior hypothalamic subunits.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prime example of how the interplay between genetic and environmental factors can trigger systemic autoimmunity, particularly in young women. Although clinical ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have, for the first time, described the underlying mechanisms that regulate how cells ...

Major signaling pathways, including the TGF-β, Wnt/β-catenin, Integrin, and others, are shown to be critical mediators of EMT transcription factors. Glioblastoma (GBM), a malignant tumor originating ...

Researchers discover that diverse genetic causes of autism converge on shared cell types and temporary maturation delays during early brain development.

For many years, scientists have studied mental health and brain development disorders one by one. Conditions such as autism ...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the deadliest malignant tumors in the world, and its incidence and mortality have increased year by year. HCC research has increasingly focused on ...

A deep dive into lipid genetics reveals how ancestry-specific molecular pathways could be driving higher diabetes and heart disease risk, bringing researchers closer to more precise, ...

A new study by researchers at King's College London has split schizophrenia risk into two genetically distinct pathways. One is characterized by a shared genetic risk with bipolar disorder and ...

Autism spectrum disorder is complex; it presents differently in different patients, and the causes are still unclear, even though hundreds of small changes in gene sequences have been linked to an ...
