Scientists have uncovered evidence supporting a mechanism in which transposable elements (TEs), once considered ...

A new study reveals how transposable elements (TEs) expanded gene regulation during brain evolution, shaping modern neural ...

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the ...

New study by Chiba University, Japan in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, uncovers novel enhancer-promoter interactions that regulate gene expression during neuronal differentiation ...

The Wistar Institute's Alessandro Gardini, Ph.D., and lab have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular "bridge" ...

The axolotl may look cartoonishly harmless, but beneath its frilly gills lies one of evolution’s most astonishing survival ...

In the brain, highly specific connections called synapses link nerve cells and transmit electrical signals in a targeted manner. Despite decades of research, how synapses form during brain development ...

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a ...

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail. Now, a study by the University of Barcelona describes a new strategy based on stem ...
