MS Accelerator: discovering the genetic variant driving the rapid progression of multiple sclerosis

by
Neurological Disease Multiple Sclerosis Concept Art

A comprehensive study involving 22,000 multiple sclerosis patients has identified a genetic variant that accelerates disease progression. This breakthrough, achieved by researchers at Yale and the International MS Genetics Consortium, found that patients with two copies of the variant, close to the DYSF and ZNF638 genes, experienced faster disease progression. This discovery opens new avenues … Read more

Mapping of nuclear phase changes

From United States Department of Energy July 2, 2023 A hypothesized phase diagram of nuclear matter. New data showing that high collision energies produce a quark-gluon plasma (QGP), whereas lower energy collisions do not, will help scientists draw the boundaries between QGP and the hadronic phase.
