Why Do Some Memories Stick, But Others Fade Away?

A woman with grey hair sits at the edge of her bed, bending down and holding her right knee. She seems to be in pain—joint pains are characteristic of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, though researchers recently found that their immune system may have become activated before their symptoms emerge.

Inflammation Starts Long Before the Pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Illustration of Robertsonian chromosomes within a cell—researchers recently discovered how these structural variants form and are transmitted through rounds of cell division. Two acrocentric chromosomes, in blue and orange (with pink centromeres), are close to each other, as Robertsonian chromosomes would be before fusion.
