Summary: New research reveals how a tiny chemical mark on RNA helps wire the brain during development. Scientists discovered that m6A methylation regulates the production of proteins essential for ...

A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi has uncovered a key mechanism that helps shape how our brains are wired, and what can ...

The researchers tested this theory in fruit flies by editing the gene that produced F-actin in the brain to produce less, but they only edited the genes in the flies' neurons.

Not only have researchers identified how a common cellular protein affects aging, but they’ve tweaked the genes that produce it in fruit flies, extending healthy lifespan by 25% to 30%. The ...

The assembly and disassembly of actin filaments are processes regulated by a large number of actin-interacting proteins, and maintenance of the actin cytoskeleton is “highly susceptible to ...

Noland Arbaugh became the first human patient to receive the Neuralink device. The 30-year-old quadriplegic man who opted to become the first human to receive Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant ...

Accordingly, BDNF is key to reorganize the actin cytoskeleton during long term potentiation (LTP) through the action of Rho GTPases Rac1 and Cdc42. 73 LRRK2 was previously reported to interact with ...

CHRFAM7A modifies the actin cytoskeleton to a more dynamic and stiffness resistant state in an α7nAChR dependent manner. CHRFAM7A may facilitate neuronal adaptation to changes in the brain environment ...
