Negative feedback is a universal control mechanism that lets a system's output throttle its input. If an engine revs up, negative feedback tapers its power source. But if the engine slows down, it ...

Owing to the discovery of thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) that are expressed in mammalian cells, considerable efforts are underway to uncover the roles of specific lncRNAs in the nucleus, ...

Loops at the ends of telomeres play a vital protective role preventing irretrievable damage to chromosomes, according to new research from the Crick. The study, published in Nature, showed how the ...

Loops at the ends of telomeres play a vital protective role preventing damage to chromosomes, according to new research. The study showed how the winding and unwinding of 't-loops' at the end of ...

Actions are not mediated solely by cortical processes but rely on communication within basal ganglia-thalamocortical loops. Speech is one example, although how the basal ganglia participate in this ...
