An unexpected source of genetic variation in human sperm has been discovered by researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, ...

Scientists have identified an unexpected source of genetic variation in human sperm that occurs earlier in sperm development ...

The cells of animals, plants, and fungi start their lives by being torn apart. Cells are born by division, and just before a parent cell becomes two daughters, it doubles its nuclear DNA and carefully ...

Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have achieved a notable advance in synthetic cell research, engineering artificial cell-like structures that can replicate one of biology's most fundamental ...

Every second, millions of cells in your body divide in two. In the space of an hour, they duplicate their DNA and grow a web of protein fibers around it called a spindle. The spindle extends its many ...

Increasing temperature affects plant development, with the assumption that roots are among the tissues particularly sensitive to heat stress (HS). However, a comprehensive analysis of the impact of ...

The image shows a metaphase spindle in a human ovarian cancer cell, surrounded by interphase cells. Microtubules are color-coded according to imaging depth, and chromosomes are shown in gray. Most ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...
