A genetic mutation found in two human patients with schizophrenia also increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice with ...

The result revealed a heterozygous C-to-T missense mutation of nucleotide 3,755 (c.3755C > T) in exon 25 of the ACE gene on chromosome 17q23, resulting in the change of amino acid 1,252 from alanine ...

De novo mutations in different tubulin genes are known to cause lissencephaly, microcephaly, polymicrogyria, motor neuron disease, and female infertility. The diverse clinical features associated with ...

“The authors convincingly show that seeded aggregation in their biosensor cells varies with the position of alanine mutations in the tau sequence, in a tau fold-dependent manner,” they wrote. “Thereby ...

What Is an ALT Blood Test? The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test is a blood test that checks for liver damage. ALT used to be called serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). Your doctor can ...

Glycine is a vital amino acid required for the synthesis of proteins and production of energy within the body. Its capabilities to enhance sleep, alleviate inflammation and improve cognitive ...

While the virus is generally found in wild birds and poses risk only to poultry, its spread to a new range of mammals may pave the way for new mutations that could increase its lethality. In 2024, the ...

In a family of 15 people in northern Italy, six developed late-onset Alzheimer’s disease – and when researchers ran genetic tests, all six had a rare mutation in a protein-coding gene known as ...

Here, we show that at pH 5, AMS is an efficacious agonist, eliciting in zebrafish α1 glycine receptors a maximum single-channel open probability of 0.85, much greater than that of β-alanine (0.54) or ...
