Autism is hypothesized to be in part driven by a reduced sensitivity to the inherently rewarding nature of social stimuli. Previous neuroimaging studies have indicated that autistic males do indeed display reduced neural activity to social rewards, but i
However, when TTE measurements of MR severity such as LV dilation, left atrial dilation, and regurgitant volume were normalized to patients' BSA of the study BSA, MR severity was equivalent across sexes. The authors postulated that normalizing echocardiographic measurements to BSA will help ...
A retrospective study of prevalence rates in 44 countries found that the worldwide prevalence of anxiety disorders was estimated at 7.3%, which is equivalent to one in 14 people worldwide suffering from anxiety disorders at any given time [1]. The one-year prevalence of major depressive ...
Methods to suppress pest insect populations using genetic constructs and repeated releases of male homozygotes have recently been shown to be an attractive alternative to older sterile insect techniques based on radiation. Female-specific lethal alleles

Although total DNA methylation levels were equivalent between ESCs and EGCs of the same sex, local distribution of methylation patterns could differ in the two cell types, as exemplified by demethylation of the Peg3 locus exclusively in EGCs (Figure S1D). We therefore compared methylation patterns...
