Later, Wacław Szybalski popularized the term in 1974 in reference to genetic engineering, but little did he know that one day ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their ...

This study, though small (just 10 young men), suggests that cold exposure can activate molecular pathways associated with ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

Human biology is not black and white. Although newborns are typically categorized as male or female at birth based on visible ...

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

Researchers at academic institutions nationwide say that U.S. science is being dismantled. Government Science Data: Vast ...

Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological ...

The world’s largest multidisciplinary scientific society honored Brown faculty members from molecular biophysics and ...
