"Researchers have found that supplements containing lithium reverse brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease in mice, presenting a potential avenue for treatment."
"At least 30 parent-of-origin effects across 14 genes were identified, showing how inheritance from mother or father can drastically alter gene expression and associated risks."
"A variant that increased type 2 diabetes risk by 14% when inherited from the father had the opposite effect, decreasing risk by 9% when inherited from the mother."
"The UK Royal Society plans to transition eight of its ten journals to a 'subscribe to open' model, which will provide open access content free under certain conditions."
Lithium supplements have shown potential in reversing Alzheimer's disease-related brain changes in mice, suggesting a novel treatment pathway. Additionally, researchers have identified at least 30 parent-of-origin effects among 14 genes, revealing that the inheritance pattern can drastically change a gene's effect. For instance, one gene variant raises the risk of type 2 diabetes by 14% if inherited from the father, while inheritance from the mother reduces the risk by 9%. Furthermore, the UK Royal Society will shift to a 'subscribe to open' model for eight of its ten journals, allowing free access content based on library participation.
