Aspirin rarely used for colorectal cancer prevention
People with Lynch syndrome have a significantly increased risk of developing colorectal cancer and other types of cancer due to a hereditary predisposition. The CAPP2 study had already shown in this high-risk group that acetylsalicylic acid can signifi…

New genetic candidates help explain why autism affects males more often than females
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas Children’s Hospital and collaborating institutions have identified new genetic candidates that help explain why autism is diagnosed about four t…

Physical activity weakens link between genetic risk and depression severity, long-term data suggest
Major depressive disorder (MDD), one type of depression, is one of the most common psychiatric conditions worldwide. It is characterized by persistent low mood and a loss of interest in everyday activities, along with changes in sleep, appetite and mot…

Blood cells from 80-year-old donor become stem cells with molecular age under 20
Researchers from the University Hospital of Bonn and the University of Bonn have succeeded in dramatically rejuvenating human cells in a test tube. To do so, they directly reprogrammed red blood cell precursors into stem cells from which neurons can be…

A massively parallel reporter assay of MECP2 cis-regulatory elements reveals genetic candidates for male-biased autism
Meyer-Schuman et al. interrogate MECP2 cis-regulatory elements (CREs) using a high-throughput reporter assay. This work identifies transcription factor binding sites that regulate MECP2 expression and noncoding variants, inherited from unaffected mothe…
