Females have one active X chromosome and one dormant X chromosome in each cell. But a study suggests that genes on the ...

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

Scientists identify mutation patterns in healthy stomach lining, offering new insights into the earliest steps of cancer ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers found that a gene on the Y chromosome influences how aortic valve stenosis progresses differently in males and ...

Scientists discover that women's second X chromosome awakens later in life, expressing genes that protect the brain from ...

A study led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego sheds new light on how a type of heart valve disease, called aortic valve stenosis, progresses differently in males and females.

A new research paper was published in Aging (Aging-US) on January 29, 2025, in Volume 17, Issue 2, titled "Diet, lifestyle ...

Females carry two X chromosomes. One of them is ensconced in a corner in the cell called the Barr body, where it can’t express many genes, and scientists thought it didn’t do much of anything. But the ...
