A new study published in the journal Nature has homed in on the sex-specific activity of a certain gene that both increases the risk of developing schizophrenia and decreases the risk of developing ...

Excessive activity of an immune system gene previously linked to schizophrenia reproduces neural and behavioral aspects of the disease in mice, according to a new study. The finding provides ...

Researchers may have determined why men are more likely to develop schizophrenia but are rarely diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disease that overwhelmingly affects women. Such sex disparities are ...

Excessive activity of an immune system gene previously linked to schizophrenia reproduces neural and behavioral aspects of the disease in mice, according to a new study publishing on January 14 in the ...

A windy road links excessive activity of the “C4” gene to the development of schizophrenia. Researchers began to study C4 activity as part of new, preliminary research to both further understand how ...

Study offers molecular explanation for long-standing observation that certain diseases occur more often or more severely in different sexes. Complement component 4 (C4) genes protect against the ...

There’s a clear sex bias in many diseases. Lupus, for instance, affects women nine times more often than it does men. Schizophrenia tends to be far more severe in males. But what’s behind the ...

Some diseases exhibit a clear sex bias, occurring more often, hitting harder or eliciting different symptoms in men or women. For instance, the autoimmune conditions lupus and Sjögren's syndrome ...

The pathogenesis of aspirin-induced asthma (AIA) is presumed to involve the aspirin /non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced abnormal metabolism of arachidonic acid, resulting in an ...
