Drug reduces fear caused by previous traumatic experiences in mice
Living a traumatic experience favours the persistence of fear associated with an aversive stimulus, known as fear conditioning and which, in mice, can be eased with a single dosis of 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone, a type of flavonoid which boosts the ability...
Important advances in the study of membrane transport proteins
Researchers at the Biophysics Unit of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, members of the UAB Center for Biophysical Studies, have published three leading articles on the functioning of membrane transport proteins. The works, led by Dr....
New structural model for the metaphase chromosome based on thin plates
Experiments performed using several different microscopy techniques have allowed researchers at the UAB Chromatin Laboratory to discover that, during cell division, chromosome DNA is packaged within planar structures formed by many extremely...
