Summary: Study identifies genetic markers in cells associated with proprioception. The findings provide new clues about how proprioceptive sensory neurons help control movement. Source: Center Max Delbruck To perform coordinated movements, we rely on special sensory neurons in our muscles and joints. Without them, the brain wouldn’t know what the rest of our body is …

Genetic variants that offered protection during the Black Death are also associated with current autoimmune disorders – Neuroscience News

Leave a Comment / Genetics / By ADMIN

Summary: People with selected variants of the ERAP2 and TICAM2 genes were 40% more likely to survive the Black Death, the researchers found. However, in modern humans, those with the ERAP2 gene are more likely to suffer from autoimmune diseases such as Crohn’s disease. Source: University of Illinois Infectious diseases are among the strongest selective …
