Our experiences leave traces in the brain, stored in small groups of cells called engrams. Engrams are thought to hold the ...
For decades, synthetic biologists have been developing gene circuits that can be transferred into cells for applications such ...
Researchers have shown for the first time that flipping an epigenetic “switch” in specific memory-holding neurons can directly alter memory strength.
A collaborative effort has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help regulate brain physiology and behavior through chemical bonding of ...
Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the ...
To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...
Researchers have uncovered genetic elements that drive the rapid development of marsupials' facial features.
