"This highlights a key pathway to childhood obesity," said Dr. Ken Ong, the lead author and a pediatrician at the Medical Research Council in London.

While no treatment exists yet in preventing remyelination failure in the chronic stages of these diseases, future research may yet prove to unlock key pathways that can be targeted.

These data suggest that promoter hypermethylation leading to gene silencing may affect key pathways in germ cell tumorigenesis.

"We think we will define key metabolic pathways that must be expressed in bacteria for them to be able to divide and multiply in their hosts," he said.

Much greater clarity was available; the recording included traces from key neural pathways.

In vitro studies suggest that methylene blue might be an effective remedy for both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease by enhancing key mitochondrial biochemical pathways.

Copper functions as a prosthetic group, which permits electron transfers in key enzymatic pathways like the electron transport chain.

Once the set of essential genetic elements are known, one can proceed to define the key pathways and core-players by modeling simulations and wet lab genome engineering.
