Towards Cascading Genetic Risk in Alzheimer’s Disease

Cascading Pattern in Genetic Risk Research for Alzheimer’s Disease Background and Research Motivation Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a slowly progressing neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the accumulation of two pathological features: amyloid plaques and phosphorylated tau neurofibrillary tangles. These pathological features typically exist ...

Biallelic Variants in SNUPN Cause a Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy with Myofibrillar-like Features

Biallelic Variants in SNUPN Cause a Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy with Myofibrillar Features Academic Background Muscular dystrophies are a complex and heterogeneous group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy due to loss of muscle fibers. Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (LGMD) are a subtype primarily...

Transcriptome Dynamics and Cell Dialogs Between Oocytes and Granulosa Cells in Mouse Follicle Development

Transcriptome Dynamics and Cell Dialogue Between Oocytes and Granulosa Cells During Mouse Follicle Development Overview Follicle development and maturation is a complex, multi-stage process. During this process, dynamic gene expression in oocytes and surrounding somatic cells, as well as the dialogue between them, play crucial roles. This study rev...
