Scientists report how several particular epigenetic changes in the hippocampus of the rat brain control downstream regulation of translation in brain neurons during fear memory reconsolidation.

A tiny change in the very flexible segments of some proteins is enough to trigger rare disorders such as Glut1 deficiency syndrome. A study published in Cell found that other genetic disorders might be traced back to the same origin.

An international research team led by the University of California, Irvine has identified a system of communication networks that exists among organs and tissues that regulate metabolism. Findings from their study provide, for the first time, a detailed “atlas” illustrating how the body creates and uses energy, and how imbalances in the networks may impact overall health.

Brown fat cells burn off a lot of calories, whereas an excess of white fat cells make us overweight and ill. Now researchers have identified a new gene in brown fat cells; a gene that may be crucial for the future's treatment of obesity.

Researchers have made a breakthrough in dealing with the extremely ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbon Freon 11.

Early biological markers of autism may help move kids into effective behavioral therapy at an earlier age.

Researchers hope this simple chip design will help meet diagnostic and drug delivery needs in developing countries.

Machine learning algorithms that can predict yeast metabolism from its protein content have been developed by scientists at the Francis Crick Institute. The findings could provide a basis scientists to personalise treatments for metabolic disorder patients, in the future.

New study shows how the Zika virus binds to cellular proteins required for neural development.

New study addresses the relatively untapped world of lipid regulation in heart failure.
