When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Allison McClure, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the CU School of Medicine. She is focused on learning all about how cells replicate, or ...

Scientists created the first synthetic cell from scratch that grows and replicates, offering hope for future cancer ...

When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting that involves construction of spindles to carefully separate the DNA after ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a key enzyme—RNase H2—that helps triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells survive high levels of DNA replication ...

If you are anything like us, whenever you plan a journey, you spend a remarkable amount of time thinking about the start and the middle. Is everything packed? What time should we leave? Will there be ...
