Artificial intelligence is a broad term encompassing many different subtypes, from apps that can write poetry to algorithms that are able to spot patterns that would otherwise get missed – and now AI ...

A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function. Researchers at the University of ...

A new study found that a gene recently recognized as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease is actually a cause of it, due to its previously unknown secondary function. Researchers at the University of ...

The causes of Alzheimer’s disease have long puzzled researchers, especially when most older adults show signs of the illness even without carrying the well-known mutations linked to it. In fact, ...

Elevated levels of an enzyme called PHGDH in the blood of older adults could be an early warning sign of Alzheimer's disease, and a study led by the University of California San Diego provides new ...

A study led by University of California, San Diego (UCSD), scientists has provided new evidence to support their suggestion that elevated levels of an enzyme called phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase ...

Researchers have identified an additional seven regions in the human genome that increase the risk of developing MacTel (macular telangiectasia type 2), including a rare DNA mutation in the PHGDH gene ...

Summary A study from UC San Diego discovered that the PHGDH gene, previously linked to Alzheimer’s as a biomarker, actually plays a causal role. The team identified a moonlighting function of PHGDH ...

Researchers discovered that high blood levels of RNA produced by the PHGDH gene could serve as a biomarker for early detection of Alzheimer's disease. The work could lead to the development of a blood ...

Analyzing thousands of genes has helped a team of researchers connect a dozen gene variants that are potentially linked and the cause of a rare eye disease known as MacTel. The new findings are ...

A genetic defect could hold the key to preventing or delaying the onset of a debilitating eye disease that can lead to vision loss and blindness. A genetic defect could hold the key to preventing or ...
