Researchers have revealed the fundamental mechanisms underlying homologous recombination – one of the main DNA repair pathways in human cells.

A new study has shown that lowering levels of a protein called EMC10 can restore brain function and memory in models of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome, pointing to a potential treatment approach.

This manuscript introduces a useful protein-stability-based fitness model for simulating protein evolution and unifying non-neutral models of molecular evolution with phylogenetic models. The model is ...

This study identifies 53BP1 as an interaction partner of GMCL1 (a likely CUL3 substrate receptor). The study seeks to link this finding to regulation of the mitotic surveillance pathway and paclitaxel ...

Nearly half of sequencing data labeled as endometriosis lacks true disease representation, highlighting the urgent need for more diverse and accurate tissue sampling to advance research in this ...

The yeast nuclear endonuclease Rnt1 has a well-characterized role in the maturation of many ncRNA precursors. However, the scope and consequence of its function in mRNA degradation pathways is much ...

Presynaptic NMDA receptors can shape timing-dependent long-term depression in a way that departs from their classic postsynaptic role.

Complex traits are influenced by genes and the environment, but especially the latter is difficult to pin down. This important study uses C. elegans to demonstrate that non-genetic differences in gene ...

Somatic hypermutation (SHM) of immunoglobulin variable (V) regions modulates antibody-antigen affinity is initiated by activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA).

Viral-mediated Oct4 overexpression induces direct conversion of wildtype mammalian Müller glia to bipolar neurons, and this process is synergistically enhanced by loss of Notch signaling.

This important study provides evidence for asymptomatic Bordetella pertussis carriage among mothers in a longitudinal cohort in Zambia, significantly advancing understanding of transmission dynamics.

The breakdown of glutamine is an important metabolic pathway for the health and survival of rod photoreceptors within the retina.
