What Happens When a Gene Quality-Control Mechanism Fails?
New research from Karen Adelman and colleagues, first author Apoorva Baluapuri, shows how failure of a gene-reading quality-control mechanism called Integrator leaves cells littered with abnormal RNA strands that increase cell stress and may contribute to diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

Sleep and the Vagus Nerve May Help Us Recover from Fear
Cagri Yuksel describes new research revealing that REM sleep and vagal nerve activity may play a crucial role in how the brain recovers from fear. These findings could open the door to innovative therapies for PTSD and related conditions.
