Unraveling the Genetic Mysteries of Psychiatric Disorders
This study integrated genetic, exon-level transcriptomic and single-cell data, pinpointing 110 core genes and shared pathways like circadian rhythm, cortisol, and dopamine signaling. Affected genes are key in excitatory neurons in the prefrontal cortex, suggesting links to cognitive issues.
New Tools for Screening for Enivronmentally Influenced Epigenetic Disease Risk Factors
We are studying how epigenetic modifications, changes to DNA structure that affect gene expression, without any DNA sequence changes, translate environmental exposures to disease risk. We have designed a new tool that will allow rapid screening to identify genes affected in any disease or exposure.
Targeting rewired metabolic pathways in pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer cells rewire their metabolism to adapt to their nutritional environment. In this study, we show that targeting a new drug target, PIKfyve, disrupts lipid metabolism and sensitizes pancreatic cancer cells to KRAS-MAPK inhibitors.
Support for Diversity and the Racial Status Quo in Lay and Legal Samples
Attitudes that favor the racial status quo undergird how White Americans selectively embrace diversity and may inform the legal decision-making affecting universities’ right to race-conscious practices.
