Animal studies of metformin have suggested a possible link with reduced depression and anxiety, so this latest finding further suggests that additional research into metformin and depression may be warranted.
The team used computational methods and reconstructed the evolutionary history of these genes to show that most of the genes involved in monoamine production, modulation, and reception originated in the bilaterian stem group.
Hyderabad: Scientists from multiple research institutes including Hyderabad-based Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) have identified eight novel genes that play a role in male fertility. The researchers have also identified variations or mutations in these genes that cause infertility among males. The multi-institutional study was recently published online in the journal Human Molecular […]
London: A new study has found that a group of genes that play an essential role in building components of our cells can also impact the human lifespan. The research has been published in the ‘Genome Research Journal’ The genes have previously been found to extend lifespan in small organisms, such as making fruit flies […]
"People adopt behaviours and attitudes, including certain moral views, that are advantageous to their own interests," said lead author Annika Karinen, a researcher at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
