Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

Resilience relies on the brain’s ability to regulate emotion, adapt, and recover. Myelin plasticity helps speed up and stabilize resilient brain responses. Genes like FKBP5 and BDNF affect how people ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

New research on the hippocampus, a brain area essential for memory, suggests that new rules of synaptic plasticity best explain how brain activity continually reshapes the way memories are recorded in ...

As animals experience new things, the connections between neurons, called synapses, strengthen or weaken in response to ...

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by an extra chromosome 21, affecting brain and body development. It leads to ...

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...
