The Microbiome-Mitochondrion Connection: Common Ancestries, Common Mechanisms, Common Goals
Lynn Margulis in the 1960s elegantly proposed a shared phylogenetic history between bacteria and mitochondria; this relationship has since become a cornerstone of modern cellular biology. Yet, an interesting facet of the interaction between the microbiome and mitochondria has been mostly ignored, that of the systems biology relationship that underpins host health and longevity. The mitochondria...
متن کاملFragile X Syndrome and Autism: Common Developmental Pathways?
Identifying atypical trajectories that distinguish children with differing developmental disorders from each other and from typically developing children is a potentially powerful tool for early ascertainment and treatment of syndrome specific proficiencies and deficiencies. The past decade has seen unparalleled advances in the fields of molecular genetics, pediatrics, developmental cognitive n...
متن کاملComparative genetics of type 1 diabetes and autoimmune disease: common loci, common pathways?
Genome-scale analysis in type 1 diabetes has resulted in a number of non-major histocompatibility complex loci of varying levels of statistical significance. In no case has a specific gene been proven to be the source of genetic linkage at any candidate locus. Comparative analysis of the position of loci for type 1 diabetes with candidate loci from other autoimmune/inflammatory diseases shows c...
متن کاملAlzheimer's disease and brain development: common molecular pathways.
Research on the causes and treatments of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has led investigators down numerous avenues. Although many models have been proposed, no single model of AD satisfactorily accounts for all neuropathologic findings as well as the requirement of aging for disease onset. The mechanisms of disease progression are equally unclear. We hypothesize that alternative gene expression duri...
متن کاملSenile myoclonic epilepsy: Delineation of a common condition associated with Alzheimer's disease in Down syndrome
In Down syndrome (DS), epilepsy is frequent in all age classes and is recognized as a significant cause of additional handicap and morbidity. Longer life expectancy has led to the recognition of the high incidence of both Alzheimer's disease and seizures in elderly persons with DS. Neuropathological markers of AD are found in all DS brains and clinical symptoms of AD become apparent by the age ...
