Study reveals genes that control hair whorl direction
Updated : 5 months, 2 weeks ago IST
The genetic basis and polygenic nature of hair whorl orientation are both shown by the first gene mapping study on human scalp hair whorls. An article in the Elsevier-distributed Journal of Investigative Dermatology reports the discovery of four linked genetic variants that are likely to hav

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
