‘Zombie’ genes? Research shows some genes come to life in the brain after death: Post-mortem changes may shed light on important brain studies – Science Daily
Researchers analyzed gene expression in fresh brain tissue and found that gene expression in some cells actually increased after death.
In the hours after we die, certain cells in the human brain are still active. Some cells even increase their activity and grow to gargantuan proportions, according to new research from the University of Illinois Chicago.In a newly published study in the journal Scientific Reports, the UIC researchers analyzed gene expression in fresh brain tissue — which was collected during routine brain surgery — at multiple times after removal to simulate the post-mortem interval and death.
