Researchers test DNA editing, recommend steps to improve accuracy
By studying the effects of DNA variants between people, researchers can gain insights into the genetics of diseases. It allows them to tailor medical treatment to a person’s genetic makeup. Modeling variants in an experimental setup is a common way for researchers to gain this knowledge. The CRISPR-Cas9 system, a broadly used gene editing tool, […]

Could antidepressants cause treatment-emergent mania?
In a study published in Molecular Psychiatry, Mark Frye, M.D., a Mayo Clinic researcher and collaborators, investigated the risk of treatment-emergent mania in bipolar disorder when treated with antidepressants. “We found that antidepressants that increase mitochondrial energetics (cells that extract energy from nutrients for sustaining life) may elevate the risk of treatment-emergent mania,” says Dr. […]
