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 ...
Prefer Newsweek on Google to see more of our trusted coverage when you search. Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA ...
Scientists have captured the most detailed structural images to date of a specific type of protein's DNA repair process, a ...
An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...
The work shows how DNA repair proteins bind, unwind, and rejoin strands, identifying previously unseen intermediate ...
We are exposed to ionizing radiation more often than we think: when we bathe in the sun, which emits UV rays, or when we get X-rayed. Even when we are travelling on an intercontinental flight, which ...
Researchers have identified an alternate method to study changes during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The new approach offers a clearer window than ...
A study published today in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilise the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for ...
