Cells that double their entire genome do not all share the same fate. New research published in the Proceedings of the ...

Cells that acquire a doubled genome after a failed division step survive and proliferate far more effectively than cells left ...

Model for ORF1p-RNP formation and DNA recognition. ORF1p forms homo trimers and higher-order oligomers that can bind to DNA but have a clear preference for RNA. Credit: Sarah Zernia et al Model for ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, leaving it with double the genetic ...

In each cell of your body, DNA is stored in structures called chromosomes. When cells divide, these chromosomes are copied, ...

Keeping you up to date with the chemistry news that matters most. Published by the American Chemical Society.

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell’s nucleus, explaining why it must be constantly folded and packaged. When it is time for cell division, and the ...

Researchers have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself is copied during cell division. They discovered that DNA packaging sends signals through an unusual ...

Researchers at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have made an exciting discovery about how human cells protect DNA during cell division, offering new insights into combating diseases such as cancer.

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 ...

Tokyo [Japan], May 26 (ANI): Scientists have uncovered a surprising twist in how cells behave when division goes wrong. Sometimes a cell successfully copies its DNA but fails to split into two, ...
