R-loops are structures that form when a strand of RNA (red) forms a stable structure with double-stranded DNA, causing one strand of the DNA to form a loop. R-loops are associated with gene ...

Genetic diseases that result from truncated proteins can be targeted by so-called nonsense suppression therapies—drugs that prevent protein translation from terminating prematurely. A new ...

A computational tool has accurately predicted a drug combination that inhibited triple-negative breast cancer in in vitro experiments. Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (NY, ...

The new model developed by Flatiron Institute researchers proposes that biological neurons have more control over their surroundings than previously thought, something that could be replicated in the ...

Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists discovered cells within the brain's hippocampus that store memories of specific locations. These cells also play an important role in storing memories of events, ...

Researchers Dr. Yuval Hart and Oded Wertheimer from the Psychology department and the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Science (ELSC) at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed a new ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...
