"This fundamentally changes how we think about the evolution of complex nervous systems," said biologist Jack Ullrich-Lüter.

It started with wine. Or more precisely, a conversation about it. "My colleagues and I were talking about how some people ...

The enzyme RNA polymerase II transcribes genes into messenger RNA. This process is guided by modifications to the enzyme's "tail" called phosphorylation patterns. Scientists at St. Jude Children's ...

A protein involved with cell death can be manipulated to slow or reverse tumor growth, a pair of new studies in mice found.

It's well-known that neural circuits help synchronize our biological clock with the day-night cycle. But just how exactly do ...
