An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific ...

The fish that limbed vertebrates evolved from don't have obvious digit equivalents, and the most common types of fish just ...

A new study has suggested that two processes that are usually thought of as harmful: DNA damage and inflammation, may actually be processes that are required whenever we form long-term memories. Brain ...

The formation of DNA adducts due to flavouring substances, particularly those derived from botanicals, has emerged as a critical area of toxicological research. Many naturally occurring compounds ...

Researchers at the University of Bath have discovered how DNA damage caused by a faulty DNA protection and repair system can ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Clustered DNA damage is related to the biological effects of ionizing radiation. However, its precise yield and complexity (i.e., number of ...

Tiny circles of DNA that defy the accepted laws of genetics are key drivers of cancer formation, according to an international study led by researchers at Stanford Medicine. The circles, known as ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred to as non-B DNA—have been implicated as regulators of cellular processes ...

Researchers from MIT have incorporated several modifications to prime editing systems, making them up to 60 times more ...

Scientists from Delft, Vienna, and Lausanne discovered that the protein machines that shape our DNA can switch direction. Until now, researchers believed that these so-called SMC motors that make ...

Electrical cables, garden hoses and strands of holiday lights seem to get themselves hopelessly tangled with no help at all. Research at the University of California, San Diego shows how knots form.
