Loss of RNA editing in the Caᵥ1.3 channel to enhance spatial memory comes at a price
In biology, it has been observed that genetic information flows from genomic DNA to messenger RNA and finally, to the protein. The genetic information embedded within the DNA has been touted as the "Language of Life".

A year in the life of the mouse lemur
Animals in the wild may not have an annual planner to keep track of the year, but they nonetheless manage to keep to a strict calendar—for example knowing just what time of the year to breed and when to hibernate. Research ...

Endogenous ceramide phosphoethanolamine modulates circadian rhythm and longevity in Drosophila
The circadian clock entrains rhythmic patterns in behavioral and physiological processes to temporally coordinate systemic metabolism with the rising and setting of the sun. In previous investigation on human subjects, sphingomyelins ...
