Selenium mediates exercise-induced adult neurogenesis and reverses learning deficits induced by hippocampal injury and aging Posted on June 24, 2024 by admin

  Summary: “Overall, our finding that selenium metabolism is involved in mediating the exercise-induced increase in adult hippocampal neurogenesis demonstrates how systemic or environmental factors can regulate adult neurogenesis and hence plasticity in the DG. This could have far-reaching implications, … Continue reading →

A genome-wide association study of Chinese and English language phenotypes in Hong Kong Chinese children Posted on June 19, 2024 by admin

Abstract: Dyslexia and developmental language disorders are important learning difficulties. However, their genetic basis remains poorly understood, and most genetic studies were performed on Europeans. There is a lack of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on literacy phenotypes of Chinese as … Continue reading →

Interactions between High Seroreactivity to Human Herpes Virus 6A and Epstein-Barr Virus in Multiple Sclerosis Development Posted on June 16, 2024 by admin

Abstract:  Synergistic interactions between human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) are hypothesized in the etiopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). This study investigated if HHV-6A and EBV seroreactivities interact regarding the risk of developing MS. Antibodies against viral antigens … Continue reading →
