Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

The longevity of naked mole rats may partly be due to them having a variant of a key protein that boosts DNA repair – a ...

CRISPR-based tools can’t easily access the DNA in these organelles, but researchers are finding other ways in.

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

First, they obtained egg cells from volunteers and removed their nuclei. They then harvested skin cells from other volunteers ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Researchers of the University of Freiburg Cluster of Excellence CIBSS demonstrate that an actin scaffold stabilizes the cell nucleus upon mechanical stress. This protective mechanism helps cancer ...

The egg-making process involved removing the nucleus from an existing human egg cell and ... and eggs carry half the chromosomes as nonreproductive cells in the body do. During fertilization, an egg's ...

A study led by EPFL shows that Urolithin A, a natural compound, can abolish high anxiety in rats by repairing mitochondrial ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...
