The buildup of knot-like RNA structures in brain cells may be the key to understanding how uncontrolled protein aggregation drives Alzheimer’s disease.

In this episode we hear about opioid overdoses, a new technique for studying teamwork in animals, making the most of fMRI data, how childhood adversity blunts the fear response in later life, and the ...

This useful study presents findings on the developmental roles of Nup107, a key nucleoporin, in regulating the larval-to-pupal transition in Drosophila melanogaster through its involvement in ecdysone ...

However, the intricate mechanisms governing these processes have remained elusive due to the presence of multiple functional domains within Munc13, each playing distinct roles in neurotransmitter ...

This important study uses advanced computational methods to elucidate how environmental dielectric properties influence the interaction strengths of tyrosine and phenylalanine in biomolecular ...

Life has been announced the winner of this year’s OpenAthens UX Award for its user-driven approach to Reviewed Preprints.

While chemical signals such as morphogens have been known for a long time, fluid transport has recently emerged as another potential way to globally organize cell behavior during morphogenesis (Navis ...

Advocates of responsible science practices representing over 30 countries have joined the programme to learn from each other ...

This study presents useful findings on the differences between male and hermaphrodite C. elegans connectomes and how they may result in changes in locomotory behavioural outputs. However, the study ...

The study presents a useful computational analysis of how the ratio between excitatory and inhibitory neural numbers affects coding capacity. The authors show that increasing the proportion of ...

By reanalyzing synthetic gene array datasets regarding single and double-knockout yeast mutants, and considering two theoretical models of cell growth, the authors reach the valuable conclusion that ...
