Flame retardant may be behind social, behavioural and learning deficits
Researchers have shed light on how interaction between epigenetics and genetics and exposure to a flame retardant leads to neurodevelopmental deficits like reduced sociability and learning. The researchers at UC Davis said that the study is the first to link genetics and epigenetics with exposure to a flame retardant chemical. "This study highlights the interaction between epigenetics and the effects

Old theory helps discover new targets in fight against breast cancer
In a new study, scientists have revived a theory first proposed in the late 1800s and studied organ development in mice to reveal how breast cancers, and possibly other cancers, develop in people.

Extremely long-lived proteins may help understand cell aging process
Scientists have said that they have discovered a weakness in a component of brain cells that may explain how the aging process of cells occurs in the brain.
