Partners in crime – genes ATP13A2 and GBA1 interact to drive neurodegeneration The findings reveal promising biological pathways that could be explored in future therapies.

It's not only genes, gene-diet interactions also regulate circadian rhythms The findings show that diet interacts with an individual’s genetic makeup, influencing daily patterns of gene activity in the liver, especially those related to fat metabolism.

Research suggests that individual genetic makeup could influence not just how the body handles fat, but when it does so. @dongyinguan.bsky.social, Y Chen, D Zhou et al. @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social @bcmhouston.bsky.social #BCMDeptMedicine #BCMCancerCenter #BCMPostdoc blogs.bcm.edu/2025/09/02/f...
