  • Orphan noncoding RNAs define cancer identity and enable blood-based monitoring

    Orphan noncoding RNAs define cancer identity and enable blood-based monitoring

    We knew we had something interesting with T3p, a single small RNA found in breast cancer but absent from normal tissue. After being described in 2018, this molecule took our team on a six-year journey to systematically map orphan…

    Rats demonstrate ability to replay episodic memories in complex experimental settings

    In a new study Indiana University researchers observed episodic memory in rats to a degree never documented before, suggesting that rats can serve as a model for complex cognitive processes often considered exclusively human. Unlike semantic…
