An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ's Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific ...

Scientists from the Institute of Integrated Cellular and Material Sciences at Kyoto University, together with colleagues, ...

Membrane reshaping and channel formation often emerge from the coordinated interplay between membranes and their associated proteins. Reconstituting such integrated behaviors in synthetic systems ...

Synapsis, the physical bridging of two broken DNA ends, is a critical step in non-homologous DNA end joining (NHEJ), the primary pathway for repairing DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in vertebrates.

Scientists have found that twisting structures in DNA long mistaken for knots are actually something else entirely. Inside cells, DNA gets twisted, copied, and pulled apart. The twists can influence ...

As newborn neurons make their way through the developing brain, they must squeeze through incredibly tight spaces to reach their final destinations. Researchers discovered that this physical journey ...

Researchers have identified a form of molecular motion that has not previously been observed. When what are known as "guest molecules"—molecules that are accommodated within a host molecule—penetrate ...

No “sticky ends”? No problem. A new study by NYU chemists finds that DNA tiles can assemble into 3D structures without the sticky cohesion of hydrogen bonding. This finding, published in Nature ...

Newborn nerve cells must squeeze through crowded, narrow spaces—through dense tissue, past other cells, and between fibers—to ...

Silicon chips have powered computing for half a century. Increasingly, they are also becoming platforms to read and ...
