Scientists Discover Hidden Cause of Alzheimer’s Hiding in Plain Sight – SciTechDaily

A new study by UC San Diego researchers has shown that the gene PHGDH, once considered only a biomarker for Alzheimer’s, actually plays a direct causal role by disrupting gene regulation in the brain through a newly discovered, non-enzymatic function. Using AI, they identified a drug candidate, NCT-503, that targets this “moonlighting” function and significantly slowed Alzheimer’s progression in mouse models. Credit: SciTechDaily.com

Researchers found the PHGDH gene directly causes Alzheimer’s and discovered a drug-like molecule, NCT-503, that may help treat the disease early by targeting the gene’s hidden function.
A recent study has revealed that a gene previously identified as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease is not just a marker, it is a direct cause of the disease. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego discovered that the gene plays a previously unrecognized secondary role that actively drives the development of Alzheimer’s. Using artificial intelligence, the team was able to uncover this hidden function and identify a potential therapeutic strategy to block the gene’s harmful activity.
The findings were published on April 23 in the journal Cell.
Alzheimer’s disease affects approximately one in nine people aged 65 and older, making it the most common form of dementia. Although certain genetic mutations are known to cause Alzheimer’s, these cases represent only a small fraction of the total. Most individuals with Alzheimer’s do not carry mutations in any of the established disease-causing genes. These sporadic or “spontaneous” cases have long puzzled scientists, as their underlying causes remain largely unknown.

《日裔基因研究發現令人震驚的結果》（ #Gemini翻譯）
"Who Are the #Japanese ? New DNA Study Shocks Scientists" by #SciTechDaily

https://scitechdaily.com/who-are-the-japanese-new-dna-study-shocks-scientists/

摘要：（ #Gemini整理）
『一項新的DNA研究發現，日本人的起源和遺傳多樣性比先前認為的更為複雜。研究表明，日本人有三個祖先群體，而不是兩個。其中一個群體與曾經居住在東北亞的蝦夷人有關。此外，該研究還利用DNA信息識別與某些疾病相關的基因。』
『A new DNA study found Japanese have 3 ancestral groups, not 2. One group is related to the Emishi people. The study also identified genes linked to certain diseases.』

Decoding the Geometry of Music: 70-Year-Old Math Problem Solved
A professor and his collaborators have proven Plyas conjecture for the eigenvalues of a disk, a tricky problem in mathematics. Is it possible to deduce the shape of a drum from the sounds it makes? This is the kind of question that Iosif Polterovich, a professor in the Department of Mathemat
