Three-dimensional genome maps are leading to a deeper understanding of how the genome’s form influences its function.
Misfolded α-synuclein proteins promote the spread of Parkinson’s pathology in mouse brains.
Researchers use the electric potential of a guinea pig’s inner ear to harvest enough energy to run a tiny sensor.
Recording brain activity as patients are anesthetized for surgery, researchers identify a pattern that may signal loss of consciousness.
