Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

Inside-out laminar patterning is a fundamental mechanism in cortical neurogenesis, but sequential specification and precise laminar deployment of projection-defined excitatory neuron types also arises...

As the NIH braces for cuts of up to 5,000 of its 20,000 positions, “people are scrambling and freaking out,” a researcher said.

Local and international health research efforts are already winding down as the university braces for even more potential cuts.

Paired transcriptomic and chromatin accessibility profiling are used to examine the developmental trajectories of neuronal populations in the hypothalamic preoptic region, including cell types with ke...

Based on a systematic analysis of environmental exposures associated with aging and mortality in the UK Biobank, the relative contributions of such exposures and genetic risk for mortality and a range...

NIH officials said they were given no advance warning and less than an hour to post the memo publicly.

All genomes harbor mobile genetic parasites called transposable elements (TEs). Here we describe a system, which we term SOS splicing, that protects C. elegans and human genes from DNA transposon-medi...
