Mapping the genetic landscape across 14 psychiatric disorders - Nature Genomic analyses applied to 14 childhood- and adult-onset psychiatric disorders identifies five underlying genomic factors that explain the majority of the genetic variance of the individual disorders.

A study in Nature finds that five groups of disorders share most of their genetic risk in a screen of 14 psychiatric conditions, including depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. The findings could help to improve diagnoses and lead to new treatments that work across several conditions. 🧬 🧪

Neuronal aging causes mislocalization of splicing proteins and unchecked cellular stress - Nature Neuroscience Rhine et al. find that neuronal aging leads to widespread dysregulation of RNA biology, including mislocalization of splicing proteins like TDP-43, chronic cellular stress and reduced resiliency.

Excited to share my postdoctoral research on how neuronal #aging contributes to RNA dysfunction is now online at Nature Neuroscience! Here we find that aged neurons suffer from chronic cellular stress that compromises resiliency to new stressors🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great new field.

Welcome to BlueSky @jamchemsoc.bsky.social !

Happy to celebrate your arrival amongst us with this new article (doi.org/10.1021/jacs...), in which we report on CoRP-seq, a technique for mapping RNA G-quadruplex #G4 transcriptome-wide in a fast, cheap and simple manner

G-quadruplex–stalled eukaryotic replisome structure reveals helical inchworm DNA translocation DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non–B-form DNA secondary structures that threaten genome stability by impeding DNA replication. To elucidate how G4s induce replication fork arrest, we characterized fork ...

How do replisomes walk on DNA? And what happens when they run into a G-quadruplex? @sahilbatra.bsky.social and @benallwein.bsky.social provide unexpected insight in our latest paper with Richard Hite @mskcancercenter.bsky.social @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... Congrats to all authors!

ALS-FUS mutations cause abnormal PARylation and histone H1.2 interaction, leading to pathological changes Alirzayeva et al. find that ALS-related mutant FUS gains interaction with PARP1 and histone H1.2. Reducing either PARP1 activity or H1.2 levels prevents pathological changes in human motor neurons and...

Lab-Grown Human Immune System Model Uncovers Weakened Response in Cancer Patients To better understand why some cancer patients struggle to fight off infections, Georgia Tech researchers have created tiny lab-grown models of human immune systems.

That's a really interesting system from Georgia Tech. Immune Organoids! The research team used synthetic hydrogels which can make a microenvironment for B cells, isolated from human tonsils and blood, to mature and produce antibodies.
