of survival curves and that I am a bit skeptical of science being intrinsically a young woman's or man's game. When we ultimately understand the neurobiological basis of creativity in science, I doubt that we will have a cellular mechanism-based affirmation of that frequently made assertion about the primacy of youth (which is most frequently heard from no-longer young researchers-turned-admini...
متن کاملWhy are most organelle genomes transmitted maternally?
Why the DNA-containing organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria, are inherited maternally is a long standing and unsolved question. However, recent years have seen a paradigm shift, in that the absoluteness of uniparental inheritance is increasingly questioned. Here, we review the field and propose a unifying model for organelle inheritance. We argue that the predominance of the maternal mode...
متن کاملDerived SNP Alleles are Used More Frequently than Ancestral Alleles as Risk-associated Variants in Common Human Diseases
Evolutionary aspects of the genetic architecture of common human diseases remain enigmatic. The results of more than 200 genome-wide association studies published to date were compiled in a catalog (). We used cataloged data to determine whether derived (mutant) alleles are associated with higher risk of human disease more frequently than ancestral alleles. We placed all allelic variants into t...
متن کاملMaternally Transmitted and Food-Derived Glycotoxins
OBJECTIVE Proinflammatory advanced glycation end products (AGEs) found in thermally processed foods correlate with serum AGEs (sAGEs) and promote type 1 and type 2 diabetes in mice. Herein we assess the relationship of maternal blood and food AGEs to circulating glycoxidants, inflammatory markers, and insulin levels in infants up to age 1 year. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS AGEs (N(ε)-carboxyme...
متن کاملIntermediate C9orf72 alleles in neurological disorders: does size really matter?
C9orf72 repeat expansions is a major cause of familial frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) worldwide. Sizes of <20 hexanucleotide repeats are observed in controls, while up to thousands associate with disease. Intermediate C9orf72 repeat lengths, however, remain uncertain. We systematically reviewed the role of intermediate C9orf72 alleles in C9orf72-related ne...
