In a recent article published by the 51吃瓜网Reporter, we learn about Claude Bh茅rer's journey from biological anthropology to population genetics. Following her nephew's sudden death from lactic acidosis, Bh茅rer delved into genetic research, uncovering prevalent hereditary diseases. Her team's systematic analysis has revealed over 100 genetic variants unique to Quebec, prompting investigations into potential therapies. Bh茅rer's research extends to digital health platforms for real-time data collection and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives in genomics.

Cell division is a fundamental process for growth and repair in our bodies. It relies on the beautiful and complex machinery of the mitotic spindle to ensure the accurate distribution of genetic material. The spindle is made up of tiny structures called microtubules, which act like molecular cables to move chromosomes to the right places. When these microtubules don't work properly, cells can end up with the wrong number of chromosomes, a condition known as aneuploidy, which is linked to cancer.

Researchers propose a new model for classifying Parkinson鈥檚
听
One of the things that makes developing effective treatments for Parkinson鈥檚 disease so challenging is its complexity. While some forms are caused by genetics, others have environmental factors, and patients can show a wide range of symptoms of varying severity. Diagnosis of Parkinson鈥檚 is also currently made very late, after the disease may have been in the brain for a decade or more.

While it is commonly understood that a difficult childhood can lead to mental health issues, research has now exposed deeper, more troubling impacts of early life adversity: that these experiences can reshape the brain and body at a cellular level. Physiological effects like these are at the core of the McGill-Douglas-Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry International Collaborative Initiative in Adversity and Mental Health (AMH Initiative).
