Space is the ultimate stress test for the human body,” said Catriona Jamieson, director of the Sanford Stem Cell Institute at UC San Diego. That stress, new research demonstrates, extends all the way ...

Cells exposed to a month of extraterrestrial conditions accumulated molecular changes associated with aging and mutations ...

Now researchers have analyzed the human mouth microbiome, and found a rare type of cell division process happening there. Usually, cells proliferate by dividing from a mother cell into two daughter ...

Regions of chromosomal DNA called centromeres are crucial to dividing cells. Centromere sequences from a human genome have been fully characterized and compared with those from other humans and ...

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.

“Most folks who are diagnosed with them end up dying from them, usually within a year or two. We don't have great treatments.

In 2000, researchers discovered that mutations that inactivate a gene known as TRIM37 cause a developmental disease called ...

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell.

Open wide: Human mouth bacteria reproduce through rare form of cell division Date: September 3, 2024 Source: Marine Biological Laboratory Summary: New research has uncovered an extraordinary ...

A time-delay circuit enables precise control over the division of synthetic DNA droplets, which mimic biological Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets found in cells. By utilizing a ...

New research from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) and ADA Forsyth uncovered an extraordinary mechanism of cell division in Corynebacterium matruchotii, one of the most common bacteria ...
