In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

The Harvard chip is an early-stage demonstration rather than an industrial replacement for current DNA synthesis platforms.

Newborn mice neurons can snap both DNA strands to migrate, then repair the breaks within a day. The process may be a normal part of brain development.

Our DNA is constantly exposed to damaging factors that can lead to aging and age-related diseases such as cancer. PARP1 is an important enzyme that facilitates the response to DNA damage by attaching ...

An elegant collaboration between researchers in the UK's two core-funded Medical Research Council Research Institutes, the Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London and the Laboratory of ...

A quiet but critical DNA process that begins even before birth may hold the key to understanding infertility, recurrent miscarriages, and genetic conditions like Down syndrome. Researchers at UC Davis ...

Researchers have revealed the structural mechanisms of a major DNA repair pathway in human cells. The research, published today as a Reviewed Preprint in eLife, is described by the editors as a ...

mRNA plays a key role in the conversion of genetic information from DNA to proteins. Their production is a delicate process. A research team has now identified a crucial factor. The corona pandemic ...
