A subtle failure during cell division can set off dramatically different outcomes, according to new research exploring whole genome duplication. A new study finds that the way a cell fails to divide ...

Cell division is one of the most fundamental and complex processes underpinning life. In human cells, thousands of molecules ...

Different types of cell division failure shape whether duplicated cells survive, remain stable, or lead to cancer.

Loss of an enzyme necessary for a process called lipoylation disrupts the way cancer cells copy their DNA, increasing their ...

The DNA packed inside every human cell contains instructions for life, written in billions of letters of genetic code. Every time a cell divides, the complete code, divided among 46 chromosomes, must ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed a new imaging method, known as RF-SIRF, that ...

Sarah J. Aitken is at the Center of Molecular and Cellular Oncology, Yale Cancer Center, New Haven, Connecticut 06511, USA, and in the Department of Pathology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven. Read ...

Scientists have elucidated the molecular mechanism by which LEM-3 cuts DNA bridges during cytokinesis. If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally ...

Our DNA is constantly being packed and unpacked. And there is a good reason for this: depending on its packing state, it performs different functions in the cell nucleus. For most of its life – this ...

Many cellular functions in the human body are controlled by biological droplets called Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets. These droplets, made of soft biological materials, exist inside ...

A centromere is a specialized location in the DNA that functions as the control center of cell division and is maintained, unchanged, across generations of cells. It is characterized by a special ...
