These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...

Researchers at the CNIO show that oestrogens regulate gene expression by changing DNA supercoiling. Hormone-activated ...

Although it also performs some functions in men, estrogen, the main female sex hormone, is involved in a myriad of processes, ...

DNA origami cages constrain individual proteins toward preferred orientations on electrodes, dramatically improving electrical measurement precision and enabling detection of subtle structural changes ...

Each cell in a plant, animal, or person contains millions, or even billions, of DNA base pairs—molecules connected by hydrogen bonds that are the building blocks of DNA. These base pairs collectively ...

Our brains store immense information about our experiences, feelings, and the world around us. Networks of neurons encode these signals as memories. These networks are called engrams. Select neurons ...
