A blog for humans in the universe, to understand what we know now and to imagine what we don't know. To bridge the gap between the real world, its image in our brain and the ideas generated by.
Big data techniques applied to biomedical data found different patterns in metabolites relevant to two connected cellular pathways (a series of interactions between molecules that control cell function) that have been hypothesized to be linked to ASD: the methionine cycle and the transulfuration pathway. The methionine cycle is linked to several cellular functions, including DNA methylation and epigenetics, and the transulfuration pathway results in the production of the antioxidant glutathione, decreasing oxidative stress. - See more at: https://news.rpi.edu/content/2017/03/16/blood-test-autism#sthash.z48NF9rv.dpuf
