If DNA bridges persist between chromosomes during cell division, chromosomes are abnormally segregated, leading to genetic ...

Lipid membranes, which form the outer layer of cells, can be engineered to influence cellular functions. For example, ...

To address this gap, the study leveraged 64,000 fully synthetic DNA sequences to dissect the design principles of cell-state specific enhancers during differentiation of blood stem cells to seven ...

The model can be told to create synthetic fragments of DNA with custom criteria, for example: 'switch this gene on in stem cells which will turn into red-blood-cells but not platelets.' ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual cells ...

Researchers have revealed the fundamental mechanisms underlying homologous recombination – one of the main DNA repair pathways in human cells.

Scientists produce human DNase1 in yeast for the first time, opening doors to wider clinical use and easier manufacturing.

DNA acts like a detailed instruction manual for cells, dictating how they should grow and function as well as when they ...

Also, in sperm cells, the mitochondria spiral in the midpiece and provide energy for tail motion. Although most of our DNA is in the nucleus of each cell, mitochondria have their own set of DNA.

"Don't Fry Day" is a campaign by the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention to raise awareness about skin cancer prevention. The Friday before Memorial Day, ...
