Epigenetic modifications, defined as temporary changes that happen without nucleotide mutation, are at the center of multiple studies. These modifications mainly modify DNA availability to control gene expression (1). Epigenetic marks, whether on the DNA itself or on the DNA spools called histones, are usually kept through cell division and are associated with many physiological […]
Here comes the sun
Summer is more than just fun; it’s a vital source of vitamin D, essential for bone health, mood, and immunity.

PTPσ, a key player in brain communication and repair, acts like a double agent. After injury, it reduces inflammation but also hinders recovery. Researchers in Shanghai found that blocking PTPσ with the novel drug ISP boosts nerve cell repair and improves brain function in a mouse model. This suggests inhibiting PTPσ could be a future treatment strategy for human brain injuries.
