Boston, US: Researchers in the US have discovered a gene that appears to raise the risk of Alzheimer’s in females, offering a vital clue to the ongoing studies to understand why more women than men are diagnosed with the disease. O6-Methylguanine-DNA-Methyltransferase, often known as MGMT, is a key player in how both men’s and women’s bodies repair DNA damage. However, no link between MGMT and Alzheimer’s disease in men was discovered by researchers. “It’s a female-specific finding – perhaps one of the strongest associations of a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s in women,” remarked senior study coauthor Lindsay Farrer, chief…

London, UK: Monkeypox patients can spread the virus up to four days before symptoms manifest, with more than half of transmissions possibly occurring during this time, a UK study claims. The study observed that although the results have not been validated, they show that many cases of monkeypox infections cannot be avoided by instructing patients to isolate once they become aware that they are infected. The virus unexpectedly began spreading outside of West African nations in May where it has long been spreading. Monkeypox has caused the deaths of 36 people out of more than 77,000 cases.
