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

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

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

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 ...

Researchers at City of Hope have found that cell mutations are necessary but not always sufficient for tumors to form.

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

Studying how these distant primate relatives slow aging during hibernation may reveal new strategies for supporting healthy ...

Researchers use light stimuli to shape cells and develop a model that explains the mechanisms – with implications for synthetic biology.

Study reveals B cells suppress mutations during rapid division, enhancing immune response and offering critical insights for ...

Ring-shaped extrachromosomal DNA is implicated in many cancers. Rachel Brazil talks to the scientists trying to uncover their ...

Microplastics could have carcinogenic and harmful effects on essential biological processes. Taking steps to avoid these ...
