The morphogenesis of brain folding patterns across species is studied by physical gel models, simulations, and a quantitative morphometric analysis.

This folding process occasionally goes awry, resulting in misfolded proteins that, if not corrected, can potentially lead to disease. Now, a new study has described a potential mechanism that could ...

Researchers have found a new common thread linking nearly all of the trinucleotide repeat expansion diseases, which include ALS, Huntington's Disease and Fragile X Syndrome, involving the complicated ...

Bloom patterns could be useful, as engineers build folding structures to send to outer space. They’re also very pretty. Researchers have now found a new class of origami that they call bloom patterns, ...
