Researchers have found a new common thread linking nearly all of the trinucleotide repeat expansion diseases, which include ALS, Huntington's Disease and Fragile X Syndrome, involving the complicated ...

Researchers have developed a new approach for describing the shape of the cerebral cortex, and provide evidence that cortices across mammalian species resemble a universal, fractal pattern. The study, ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have found another common thread linking nearly all of the TNR expansion diseases: the complicated 3D patterns that the DNA is folded into in order to fit ...

Expansion of CAG repeats beyond a threshold of 35–40 glutamines in the majority of patients is a common feature of polyglutamine disorders (reviewed in Cummings and Zoghbi 2000). The nature of the ...
