African Americans have long been known to be at increased risk of kidney disease due to a dangerous genetic mutation that creates a hole in the kidney cells, but researchers have now discovered a protective genetic mutation.

The midbody remnant – a signaling organelle that forms during mitosis – has been shown to be packed with genetic material that can play a role in cancer development.

A team of neuroscientists has now identified a class of neurons that are not responsive to sounds in general, but only respond when sounds violate expectations, thereby sending a message that a mistake has been made.

Pregnancy hormones can promote parental behavior in mice by altering a small region of neurons in the brain, suggests a new study. The research also suggests that this “rewiring” leads to stronger parental responses to pups.
