- 1Autism Study Finds Two Opposing Molecular Patterns in the Brain▼Autism Study Reveals Two Opposing Molecular Patterns in the Brain
A new study reports that autism is linked to two opposing molecular patterns in the brain, suggesting the condition may involve distinct biological profiles rather than a single underlying signature. Researchers say the findings could help explain why autism presents so differently across individuals and may guide more targeted approaches to studying and eventually treating the condition.
- 2Theoretical physics sheds light on tumour DNA mechanisms●Theoretical physics helps unveil the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours
Researchers, including the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, report that theoretical physics methods have helped reveal the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours. These DNA fragments, found outside normal chromosomes in cancer cells, are linked to tumour evolution and drug resistance. The work shows physics-based modelling can contribute to cancer biology, drawing attention across the physics and medical research communities.
