Specific age related signatures in Drosophila body parts transcriptome

Cell-Type-Specific Transcriptome Analysis in the Drosophila Mushroom Body Reveals Memory-Related Changes in Gene Expression.

Learning and memory formation in Drosophila rely on a network of neurons in the mushroom bodies (MBs). Whereas numerous studies have delineated roles for individual cell types within this network in aspects of learning or memory, whether or not these cells can also be distinguished by the genes they express remains unresolved. In addition, the changes in gene expression that accompany long-term...

Transcriptome changes in age-related macular degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a debilitating, common cause of visual impairment. While the last decade has seen great progress in understanding the pathophysiology of AMD, the molecular changes that occur in eyes with AMD are still poorly understood. In the current issue of Genome Medicine, Newman and colleagues present the first systematic transcriptional profile analysis of AMD-af...

Age-Related Prostate Specific Antigen Reference Ranges in Healthy Northern Iranian Men

Background: Prostate cancer is the third most common malignancy in men worldwide. Despite being a helpful biomarker in prostate cancer, prostate specific antigen (PSA) is affected by different factors including age, lifestyle, geographical region and ethnicity. Objective: To determine the age specific serum PSA level among healthy Northern Iranian men and to compare the results of our study wit...

Gender Similarities and Differences in Preferences for Specific Body Parts

This research investigated gender similarities and differences in preferences for specific body parts in an ideal mate. 137 participants indicated the degree to which they desired their ideal version of a particular body part in their ideal mate. Whereas conventional wisdom dictates that women's physical appearance is more important to men than is men's appearance to women, results indicated th...
