The study will interest researchers studying genome organisation in mitosis. Genomes assume a complex 3D architecture in the interphase cell nucleus. Yet, the molecular mechanisms that determine ...

Each day, hundreds of billions of cells in our body cycle through a period of growth and division. Yet in that time, only about 30 minutes is spent on the critical orchestration of mitosis, when ...

MIT researchers have discovered that before cells start to divide, they do a little cleanup, tossing out molecules that they appear not to need anymore. Using a new method they developed for measuring ...

Mitotic kinase CDK1 phosphorylates LDHA at T18, reducing its incorporation into LDH tetramers and promoting formation of LDHB ...

Viruses insert “transposable elements” into the genetic material of host cells to replicate. While cells’ defense mechanisms have learned to silence most of these viral insertions, a few “jumping ...

During sexual reproduction, haploid gametes (i.e. eggs and sperm) are generated from diploid precursors through the specialized cell division of meiosis. Meiosis reduces ploidy by following one round ...

Researchers explore innovative macrocyclic peptides to target small cell lung cancer, revealing promising therapeutic ...
