In conjunction with University Medical Center Mainz, researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic ...
Females have one active X chromosome and one dormant X chromosome in each cell. But a study suggests that genes on the dormant X get "reawakened" later in life, potentially giving the brain a boost.
Recent research has identified a specific biological mechanism that may explain why females experience more severe impairments in brain cell regeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The ...
