Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is ...

Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic ...

They derive their energy from differences in the concentration of hydrogen ions across some of these membranes ...

"For the first time, scientists have shown that DNA from ordinary body cells can be placed into an egg, activated, and made ...

In their quest for safe, mass-producible artificial blood, geneticists have long struggled. Our limited knowledge of genetic pathways that govern the development of blood has kept us from producing ...

In tissue biopsies, cancer cells are frequently observed to have nuclei (the cell's genetic information storage) that are larger than normal. Until now, this was considered a sign that the cancer was ...

Mutations in the MAGEL2 gene, which cause Schaaf-Yan syndrome (SYS) —an ultra-rare disease that affects neuronal and cognitive development— generate truncated, non-functional proteins that tend to ...

Another protein central to this process is NuMA, which is essential for spindle pole organisation. Normally, NuMA gathers at ...

Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic material (chromosomes ...
