To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

Ants have evolved an acute sense of smell, which requires each sensory neuron to choose one scent receptor out of hundreds.

You’ve probably referred to them negatively – blaming them for your weight, bad habits or thinning hair. But while you can’t ...

A collaborative effort has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help regulate brain physiology and behavior through chemical bonding of ...
