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

A study led by Prof. Liu Feng from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified a crucial role ...

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 ...

A breakthrough in safely delivering therapeutic DNA to cells could transform treatment for millions suffering from common ...

Mouse cells tweaked to produce the tardigrade protein incurred less DNA damage than unaltered cells — hinting at a new tool for cancer patient care.

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

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

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

Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process ...

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

New findings show that the mitochondria powering our cells also control the ability of a DNA repair protein to suppress the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which causes zombie-like ...

UCLA Health researchers say study findings uncover Huntington's disease mechanisms and pave new ways to develop treatments.
