A 'traffic light' for neurons means 'go' for improving brain research

... "How do different types of cells communicate with each other to carry out very complex things like emotion or how people make decisions?" Funding for the paper's authors comes from NIH, the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, the Max Planck Society, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (Germ...

Beyond the DNA: Chemical signatures reveal genetic switches in the genome

...expressed. "The human genome is packaged within each cell by chromatin, a structure composed of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones," explains lead author Nathaniel Heintzman, from LICR and the UCSD Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. "We used genome-scale approaches to analyze the chromatin ...

Male-killing bacteria makes female butterflies more promiscuous

...tly affected by the male-killling bacteria so that each has a different ratio of males to females. The researchers assessed the natural sex ratio in 20 populations and combined this data with female mating frequency and the size of the male sperm package (Spermatophore) per copulation to find how femal...

...ng these disks is irradiated, the hooks grab on to each other, linking the disks into little, two-dimensional "patches" that in turn hook on to other patches. Once they reach a certain size, the patches bend around and close off to form hollow spheres, which can then be filled with guest molecules. The si...

Researchers learn what sparks plant growth

...he root, we will know the major sites of action of each plant hormone and will be able to make models to predict how they work together to give rise to the tremendous diversity of shape and form found in the flowering plants," said Chory. For the moment, the research is an important addition to the fun...
