Researchers at the University of Iowa (UI) have identified a novel protein folding mechanism in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that is essential for long-term memory storage and has linked this ...

A team of researchers has revealed that the Dumpy protein, a component of extracellular matrices -- or ECM -- is the key factor in regulating the stereotypic origami-like folding of wing-cell sheets.

A hitherto unknown mechanism for DNA folding is described in a new study. The findings provide new insights into chromosomal processes that are vital to both normal development and to prevent disease.

Determining the genetic and epigenetic factors that influence brain folding is the objective of the latest study co-led by the Neurogenesis and Cortical Expansion laboratory, directed by researcher ...
