How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It explores how physical components, such as neurons and their connections, give rise ...

The structure of protein sets the foundation for its interaction with other molecules in the body and, therefore, determines its function. This article will cover the structural principles of proteins ...

Several years ago, biologists discovered a new type of genetic material known as long noncoding RNA. This RNA does not code for proteins and is copied from sections of the genome once believed to be ...

Structure functions relate the level of operations of a system as a function of the level of the operation of its components. In this paper structure functions are studied which have an intuitive ...

Using a new type of additive manufacturing called focused rotary jet spinning (FRJS) enabled researchers to make three-dimensional helically aligned biohybrid models of human heart tissue. Not only do ...

New research published in BMJ Mental Health sheds light on the relationship between lifetime cannabis use and brain health in mid- to late-life adults. The study found that individuals with a history ...

The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The effect of these ...

Consistent with a ubiquitous life history trade-off, trees exhibit a negative relationship between growth and longevity both among and within species. However, the mechanistic basis of this life ...
