Review finds dyslexia linked to disruptions in brain networks rather than a single gene, offering new insight into common learning disorders.
Study Finds Rare Complications in Children More Likely After COVID-19 Infection Than Vaccination
A large-scale study published in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health has found that children and young people face substantially higher risks of rare vascular and inflammatory complications following COVID-19 infection compared with COVID-19 vaccination. The research, led by Alexia…
Study Identifies Key Predictors of Survival in Grade 4 IDH-Mutant Astrocytoma
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have identified two factors independently associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with grade 4 isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant astrocytoma: cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B) deletion and midline tumour involvement. The findings, published in Neurology,…

Cancer Gene Mutation Map Reveals New Insights into Tumour Growth
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have developed a comprehensive map detailing how hundreds of mutations in a critical cancer gene influence tumour development. The study, published in Nature Genetics, focused on CTNNB1, a gene responsible for producing β-catenin, a…
