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

The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not ...

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 ...

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

Research shows UV radiation modifies 3D genome structure, affecting DNA damage response and gene activity, offering insights ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than ...

Scientists from Germany and Italy have uncovered details of the protective layer that surrounds the fine protrusions of cells ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) find it harder to get pregnant, have more frequent miscarriages and have a higher risk of developing endometrial cancer. Now, in a new study published in ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

With clinical trials results trickling in, “antiaging” drugs that clear away senescent cells are proving to be promising — ...
