Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...

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

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

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

Researchers at City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the U.S. with its National Medical Center named top 5 in the nation for cancer by U.S.

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

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

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 ...

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

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

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.

Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.
