As human beings age, the functioning of organs gradually deteriorates. While countless past studies have investigated the effects of aging on the human body, brain and on cognition, the neural mechanisms and environmental ...
Cells switch fates and acquire new identities during organogenesis and regeneration as a critical trait, although the mechanisms underlying such conversions are poorly understood. The vasculature provides a biological model ...
(Medical Xpress)—A recent perspective paper published in Science has raised some important, and timely, questions regarding neural diversity. The authors, from Columbia, MIT, and New York University, would simply like to ...
A new role for cohesin in regulating alternative splicing has been identified, providing insights into splicing mutations in human disease.
A set of three nearly identical genes found only in humans appear to play a critical role in the development of our large brains, according to a study led by researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
