I en studie ledd från Lunds universitet kan forskarna för första gången visa att traumatiska hjärnskador aktiverar vilande endogena retrovirus som under årmiljonernas gång infogats i människans DNA. Att dessa aktiveras kan vara drivande för att starta en inflammation som förvärrar hjärnskadan. Studien är publicerad i Cell Reports.

Researchers from the Jakobsson Group at Lund University have discovered how a hidden piece of DNA, known as a transposable element, disrupts normal gene function in a disease called X-Linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism (XDP). Published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, their findings uncover the epigenetic processes that lead to changes in gene expression linked to XDP, offering new insights i
