The prefrontal cortex region of the human brain is responsible for a range of complex functions from decision-making to certain types of memory. When something goes wrong in this part of the brain, it ...

Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the "dark ...

The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation of many ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is ...

Jeremy Berg does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual cells ...

A subset of more than 1,000 neurons, representing just a snapshot of the complexity mapped within a cubic millimeter of mouse brain tissue Allen Institute In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it ...

Uptake of cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cells and carrying non-coding DNA could redefine mammalian genomics.

Sickle cell disease (SCD) altered CD8+ T-cell chromatin architecture, triggering ferroptosis and weakening antitumor immunity. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) treatment restored chromatin interactions and ...
