Study sheds more light on key link to autism spectrum disorder
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Mayo Clinic and Yale University scientists determined that the origins of autism spectrum disorder may be related to an imbalance of particular neurons that play a vital role in how the brain communicates and works using human "mini-brain" models known as organoids. The cells in question are

Study provides insight into regulation of apicoplast gene expression in ma
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
A recent study discovered that gene expression within the apicoplast, an organelle in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, is regulated by melatonin (the circadian signalling hormone) in host blood and intrinsic parasite cues via a factor called ApSigma. The regulatory system highligh
