When bacteria cells replicate, they do so a little differently than human cells do. They don't undergo mitosis, a splitting ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Maize serves as a vital model species for advancing our understanding of plant biology, yet many mysteries remain about the ...

Two new landmark studies show how a seeming tangle of DNA is actually organized into a structure that coordinates thousands of genes to form a sperm cell. The work, published March 3 as two papers in ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment opportunity for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The discovery, ...
