Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

An international research team has identified a human protein, ANKLE1, as the first DNA-cutting enzyme (nuclease) in mammals capable of detecting and responding to physical tension in DNA. This ...

The centromere is necessary for the transport of chromosomes during cell division and, therefore, for the correct ...

AI maps fleeting DNA quadruplexes, revealing paired structures that control genes in healthy cells and cancer.

Over the past few decades, advances in hematology have illuminated how a delicate balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation sustains healthy blood formation. In myelodysplastic ...

Tomato fruit size, a trait that strongly influences market value and yield, is governed by intricate developmental processes. This study uncovers a previously unknown translational regulatory pathway ...

In a decades-long effort, researchers have discovered how to tweak the molecular pathways that turn heart muscle motors up or ...

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan ...

A groundbreaking experiment transforms skin cells into egg-like cells, offering hope for infertility treatments amidst ...

Small, cancer-associated DNA circles "hitchhike" on chromosomes during cell division to spread efficiently to daughter cells by co-opting a process used to maintain cellular identity through ...
