Loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells of men is associated with disease and mortality, but no clear causal relationship has previously been identified. Now, researchers from Uppsala University show ...

As men age, a quiet genetic shift unfolds inside their blood cells: the Y chromosome, long dismissed as little more than a sex-determination switch, begins to disappear. This process, called mosaic ...

Loss of the Y chromosome in the blood cells of men as they age can cause impaired heart function and death from cardiovascular diseases, according to a new study that may lead to novel therapies to ...

A study on Y chromosome loss titled "Hematopoietic loss of Y chromosome leads to cardiac fibrosis and heart failure mortality" has been published in the journal Science. Researchers from the Osaka ...

Humans have X and Y sex chromosomes, with the XY combination being male and XX being female. However, as men age, they lose their Y chromosome, primarily in blood cells. This is called mosaic loss of ...

Mosaic loss of Y chromosome (mLOY) arises when the male-specific chromosome is lost in adult stem cells and their progeny. The frequency of mLOY in haematopoietic stem cells increases with age and is ...

The mosaic loss of Y chromosome (mLOY) in myeloid cells is a major risk factor for increased incidence of cardiovascular and fibrotic diseases during aging. The authors of a study published in the ...

A research group led by Dr. Soichi Sano, a specially appointed lecturer in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka Metropolitan University, revealed that men with ...
