How sugar fuels sight: Glucose metabolism linked to epigenetic and gene expression changes in the retina
National Eye Institute (NEI) scientists have found that the way the retina metabolizes glucose directly controls which genes get switched on and off in light-sensing photoreceptors. The findings suggest that metabolic disruptions seen in aging and dise…

Many genes have been linked to autism—but a new study suggests it may be their path to the brain that matters
In recent years, scientists have identified hundreds of different genes associated with autism, a burst of discovery that has prompted a new and perplexing question: how can so many different genes produce the same or very similar outcomes in the brain?

Discovery of a new gene pattern could help doctors identify Ebola faster and more accurately
When someone is infected with Ebola, the body mounts a strong immune response, as it does in response to many pathogens. Researchers at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) have now made an important discovery that could help doc…

A study in 1.4 million women expands knowledge on endometriosis and its biological complexity
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately one in ten women of reproductive age—around 190 million worldwide—remains poorly understood from a biological perspective, which has historically hindered both its accurate diagno…
