New method analyzes long-range interactions in the interactome

Researchers at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute have developed a method to analyze long-range interactions in the DNA -the interactome- from a very low amount of starting material.

Targeting newly discovered signaling pathway could boost the potency of cancer therapeutics

Cells zealously protect the integrity of their genomes, because damage can lead to cancer or cell death. The genome - a cell's complete set of DNA - is most vulnerable while it is being duplicated before a cell divides. Cancer cells constantly are dividing, so their genomes are constantly in jeopardy.

Neurons in a bow-shaped brain region become hyperactive after chronic stress exposure

It's clear that chronic stress can impact our behavior, leading to problems like depression, reduced interest in things that previously brought us pleasure, even PTSD.
