An international team of scientists has discovered an additional potential cause of the genetic mutations that result in rare neurodegenerative conditions such as Huntington's disease.
Scientists have discovered an additional potential cause of the genetic mutations that result in rare conditions such as Huntington's disease .
Previously, it had been thought the damage in these genetic diseases was caused solely by increased protein aggregate toxicity. They are also now planning to conduct further research to fully address the implication of expanded-CAG repeats RNA aggregate toxicity in patients.

Ancient metal cauldrons give us clues about what people ate in the Bronze Age -- ScienceDailyArchaeologists have long been drawing conclusions about how ancient tools were used by the people who crafted them based on written records and context clues. But with dietary practices, they have had to make assumptions about what was eaten and how it was prepared. A new study analyzed protein residues from ancient cooking cauldrons and found that the people of Caucasus ate deer, sheep, goats, and members of the cow family during the Maykop period (3700--2900 BCE).

Neuroscientists successfully test theory that forgetting is actually a form of learning -- ScienceDailyNeuroscientists report the first results from experimental tests designed to explore the idea that 'forgetting' might not be a bad thing, and that it may represent a form of learning -- and outline results that support their core idea. Seemingly lost memories can be retrieved and updated by environmental cues, which means this research has implications for a range of diseases such as Alzheimer's.
