A new study is the first to show that two of our most sophisticated cognitive functions, using and understanding language and being able to sense how other people feel, have distinct origins in the ...

Stem cells have great applications in regenerative medicine. While transcription factors traditionally dominate fate determination research, recent 3D genomics reveals chromatin topology’s critical ...

Two new papers describe a significant advance in understanding the complex functions of the metabolic network. Two papers published today in the journal Nature describe a significant advance in ...

Researchers at the University of Twente have developed a new method that allows them to precisely control chemical reactions using metal ions. This marks an important step toward computers that ...

The pallium is the brain region where the neocortex forms in mammals, the part responsible for cognitive and complex functions that most distinguishes humans from other species. The pallium has ...
