Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), including the most prevalent Alzheimer's disease and
Parkinson disease, share common pathological features. Despite decades of gene‐centric …

Impairments in social interaction and verbal and non verbal communication are among the
main features of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The causes of ASD are still unknown but …

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) represent∼ 8% of human genome, deriving from
exogenous retroviral infections of germ line cells occurred millions of years ago and being …

Transposable elements (TEs) are highly repetitive DNA sequences in the human genome
that are the relics of previous retrotransposition events. Although the majority of TEs are …

Recent reports have suggested that the reactivation of otherwise transcriptionally silent
transposable elements (TEs) might induce brain degeneration, either by dysregulating the …

The human genome contains many retroviral elements called human endogenous
