Chromosomes continuously develop their shape during cell divisions. Mitotic chromosomes gradually shorten and thicken. Longer ...

A mixture of DNA and proteins—known as "chromatin"—sits inside every cell nucleus as a jumbled puddle of genetic information. As cells prepare to divide during mitosis, the chromatin is condensed into ...

Unlike other tissues in the human body, human eggs don't pick up as many mutations in some of their DNA as they age. The findings from a new study ...

People are still debating whether the mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines remains in the body longer than it should. Some say it ...

This data provides the first evidence of selective cell response to senolytic treatment among senescent cell subpopulations."BUFFALO, NY — September ...

Engineered nanocultures with egg like shells host thousands of microbes and burst on cue, offering precise, high throughput tools for microbiome research in tough environments.

This valuable study analyzes aging-related chromatin changes through the lens of intra-chromosomal gene correlation length, which is a novel computational metric that captures spatial correlations in ...

A scaling law relates the expected number of mutants to the total population size of cells in a spatially constrained but ...

UCLA researchers have made strides in developing a stem cell gene therapy for alpha thalassemia major, a severe, inherited ...
