Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) and associated CRISP-R associated nuclease (Cas) proteins comprise the CRISPR/Cas systems responsible for adaptive immunity in many bacteria and archaea. Three types of CRISPR/Cas systems have been identified to date, designated t...

Abstract
In neurons, regulation of gene expression occurs in part through translational control at the synapse. A fundamental requirement for such local control is the targeted delivery of select neuronal mRNAs and regulatory RNAs to distal dendritic sites. The nature of spatial...

Abstract
The heart exhibits remarkable adaptive responses to a wide array of genetic and extrinsic factors to maintain contractile function. When compensatory responses are not sustainable, cardiac dysfunction occurs, leading to cardiomyopathy. The many forms of cardiomyopathy exhibit a set of o...
