How - and where - does a disease begin?

Researchers discovered which genes are required for each stage of cell differentiation into neural stem cells and neurons, i.e. for brain development, and which of them are involved in diseases of the nervous system

For the past hundred years, the chemical trichloroethylene [TCE] has been used in decaffeinated coffee, metal cleaners, and dry-cleaned clothes. The substance itself is known to be a carcinogen, it is associated with miscarriages, congenital heart disease and a fivefold increase in the incidence of Parkinson's disease

The artificial intelligence that deciphered biology

Researchers have developed an algorithm known as ART - Automated Recommendation Tool. Art received an enormous amount of information about the set of proteins in the cell, and as a result he could predict how changes in those proteins would affect the substances that the cell is supposed to create
