An Unlikely Tale: How a Paper on Hemostasis, Puncture Wounds and Platelets Came from a Team Led by Ph.D.s in Physics and Biochemistry
Puncture wounds and how platelet leads to bleeding cessation is not normally thought of as problem in cell and developmental biology. Here a team trained in physics and biochemistry take exactly that approach to thrombus structure and how that leads to bleeding cessation in ta jugular wound.
Age-Dependent, Motor Cortex Selective TARDBP Demethylation Unlock the Mystery in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Our paper indicates DNA demethylation of the autoregulatory region of TDP-43 interferes with the TDP-43 autoregulation resulting in increasing TDP-43. The DNA demethylation increases in the human motor cortex by age. The tissue-specific, age-dependent demethylation may underlie the nature of ALS.
