Brian Cunniff, an assistant professor of pathology and laboratory medicine at the University of Vermont, will discuss how the subcellular positioning of mitochondria regulates gene-expression patterns ...

Protein, but not mRNA, levels of neurodegenerative disease-associated protein TDP-43 are decreased upon knockdown of BORC, a complex that is required for the anterograde transport of lysosomes.

This study reveals how gene expression patterns uncover molecular pathways linking comorbidities, enhancing treatment strategies for overlapping diseases.

Sex-biased gene expression in the body organs evolves rapidly, supporting a mosaic model of maleness and femaleness across tissues and thus challenging binary views of sex characteristics in mammals.
