A new role for cohesin in regulating alternative splicing has been identified, providing insights into splicing mutations in human disease.
By the middle of this century the over 60s will outnumber the under 18s for the first time in human history. This should be good news, but growing old today also means becoming frail, sick and dependent. A healthy old age ...
