PRC1 Plays a Role in Genetic Errors and Cancer
An over-abundance of the protein PRC1, which is essential to cell division, is a telltale sign in many cancer types. Researchers now show that PRC1 acts as a “glue” during cell division, precisely controlling the speed at which two sets of DNA are separated as a cell divides.

How Microglia Chomp Paths Through the Brain's Scaffolding To Promote Plasticity
A new study has explored the role that the brain's immune cells, microglia, have in helping synapses form. These cells chomp away at the matrix proteins blocking synapses' paths, making a space for neurons to find one another.
