The Role of m6A/m-RNA Methylation in Stress Response Regulation
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) are abundant mRNA modifications that regulate transcript...
Cell type and environment influence protein turnover in the brain
New findings provide insight on how the components of different cells in the brain are altered, which could affect our...
‘I Interact Therefore I Am’: The Self as a Historical...
In this article, moving from being to becoming, we construe the ‘self’ as a dynamic process rather than as a static...
