Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the ...

A multi-level assessment of the relevance of 18 highly conserved neural zebrafish microexons showed that individual deletions of most microexons did not exhibit strong phenotypes, likely because of ...

How is it that your body with all of its specialized organs developed from a single cell? Scientists are exploring how gene expression patterns and their timing regulate cell differentiation. Today, ...
