A protein thought to play a supporting role in DNA replication actually facilitates the whole process

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight that could inform research into cancer and other diseases.

In rare cases, autoantibodies can cause severe reactions to a live-attenuated virus Chikungunya vaccine that has been discontinued in the U.S.

A new study shows that preexisting autoantibodies in a small subset of the population can allow weakened vaccine viruses to escape control, explaining some adverse events tied to this one kind of Chikungunya vaccine, which is no longer available in the U.S.

Study on brain navigation reveals function of an unconventional electrical-signaling mode in neurons

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of how some neurons operate.
