The X chromosome passed from mom to offspring may accelerate brain ... And, of course, because the current study was conducted only in mice, future research should look at human brain tissue to check ...

UCSF researchers found that brain cells age more quickly when they rely solely on the X chromosome inherited from a female's ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...

The X contains more genes related to brain function than does any other chromosome. “The X chromosome may be a treasure trove ...

Human biological sex is determined by the sex chromosomes X and Y. In most cases, females possess two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y. However, there is some evidence that the Y ...

New research at the UO reveals that they have been using one that has existed for 480 million years. The octopus has just ...

A UCSF study reveals that maternal X chromosome expression may accelerate brain aging and cognitive decline. Female mice with ...

The X chromosome is known to carry significant genetic ... Such findings, if confirmed in human studies, could open a window of understanding into the gender differences seen in cognitive decline ...

Women are born with two X chromosomes and inherit one from each parent. But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed—so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only ...

The X chromosome passed from mom to offspring may ... future research should look at human brain tissue to check that the results carry over, Buckley said. "This is such highly unique and novel ...
