If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...
Around the globe, heart disease remains one of the top causes of death. Once patients begin to suffer from serious heart ...
Scientists say they need better access to human brain tissue to understand how dementia, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, autism, ...
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 ...
MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...
Nassour lab aims to advance strategies to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer more effectivelyOut of the approximately 30 ...
An epigenetic factor that is essential for producing mature egg cells in mice has been identified by RIKEN researchers for ...
Just one enzyme manages the refilling of the cellular soda machine that replicates our genes. PLK-1 initiates a process in two protein groups, leading to creation of new CENP-A proteins. These CENP-A ...
Cells in the human body accumulate cancer-promoting mutations throughout their lifespan, yet these mutations rarely drive tumour formation. Tumours in a given tissue usually originate from a specific ...
