The brain's capacity to change itself by reorganising preexisting neural networks and establishing new ones to gain new functional qualities enables learning new skills, mastering a musical instrument, and adapting to the environment's constant change
Yeast – that simple organism essential to making beer and bread – has revealed for Cornell researchers a key mechanism in how genes are controlled.
There are nearly 100 million cells in the brain, the development of which begins with the generation of neurons, the cells responsible for our thoughts and actions. Later, a different kind of cells called astrocytes form, and they modulate the perfor
Researchers conducted experiments to show how a non-cardiac protein subunit interacts with three cardiac genes known to be mutated in patients with congenital heart disease.
Inside embryonic cells, specific proteins control the rate at which genetic information is transcribed from DNA to messenger RNA – a crucial regulatory step before proteins are created. Then, organs develop and hopefully function properly.
