Brain cell development and risk of schizophrenia

risk of schizophrenia

Scientists from Keele and Cardiff Universities have discovered new links between the breakdown in brain cell development and the risk of schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. Genetic risk factors are known to disrupt brain development in a number of these disorders, but little is known about which aspects of this process are affected. This research […]

Cell-type-specific insight: Coronary artery disease

Coronary artery disease

Cell-type-specific insight into the function of risk factors in coronary artery disease: Using single cell technology, a new study sheds light on the significance of genetic risk factors for, and the diversity of cells involved in, the development of coronary artery disease. The researchers analysed human atherosclerotic lesions to map the chromatin accessibility of more […]
