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

Older female mice show poor spatial memory when their paternal X chromosome is inactive and only the maternal copy is active. This phenomenon could be responsible for variation in age-related ...

But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed—so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only a maternal X chromosome; others rely only on the paternal X. Now, UC San ...

In a nutshell Female cells randomly use either the maternal or paternal X chromosome—this study shows that relying more ...

Some cells use only a maternal X chromosome; others rely only on the paternal X. Now, UC San Francisco researchers have found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X ...

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

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

Some cells use only a maternal X chromosome; others rely only on the paternal X. Now, UC San Francisco researchers have found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X ...

This results in females carrying a mosaic of cells that have silenced either their paternal or maternal X chromosome. Meanwhile, males — who typically carry one X and one Y — only ever inherit ...

Created with Sketch. Angelman syndrome is caused by an over-expression of paternal imprinted genes and an under-expression of maternal ones on chromosome 15. Children with this genetic disorder ...

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) say they have now found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X chromosome, the animals’ memory and ...

But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed – so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only a maternal X chromosome; others rely only on the paternal X. Now, UC San ...
