Some of the latest research is presented in an informative way describing risk and mitigating factors that influence the expression...
UK and US scientists identified geneticindicators4that someone is at greater risk of developing aglioma(神经胶质瘤)- which accounts for 50% of all braintumours5(肿瘤). However, the teams from London, Texas and California write in Nature Genetics that environmental factors also affect if someone ...
Most of the identified genes involve transcription or epigenetic factors that influence the expression of other genes (some with an unknown function), consequently leading to a wide variety of symptoms that are shared among various neurodevelopmental disorders (Graham and Fisher, 2015). It is beyond...
In contrast, treatment of cerebral metastases is well known to influence the local and distant in-brain progression as well as patients’ quality of life. In the present study, local recurrence rate was 25.6%, the distant development rate was 26.9%. These rates are congruent with our previous...

104 Important missing covariates included smoking status, daily exercise, drug adherence, and other factors that influence the risk of developing dementia.105-108 These unknown differences in patients (healthy-user bias) might account for a reduction in the subsequent risk of dementia.109,110 Our ...
He also points out that even though the risk-taking group did partake in risky behavior, none met clinical criteria for behavioral or substance use disorders. By identifying these factors early on, researchers hope to have a better chance of providing effective cognitive strategies to help risk-se...
