Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

About 100 cells divide every second in our body. A key protein in cell division is a protein kinase termed Plk1, because it ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...

The ends of chromosomes, called telomeres, typically shorten as an organism ages. But when some fat-tail dwarf lemurs ...

Breakthrough study uses chromosome physical properties to monitor breast cancer therapy outcomes and predict recurrence ...

As the cell proceeds through the stages of cell division (from left to right: interphase, prometaphase, metaphase, and anaphase), chromosomes become progressively more compact through a ...

Furthermore, the constructs often attached to natural chromosomes, potentially disrupting the host cell’s genome. In the new study, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania circumvented this ...

Women have a higher proportion of key immune cells between puberty and menopause, which may be linked to the sex hormone estrogen and explain why they are less susceptible to certain infectious ...
