Vitamin D supplements may help prevent the loss of telomeres, DNA sequences that shrink with aging, a large study shows. But ...

Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations ...

A collaborative team of researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that hematopoietic stem cell ...

With few options remaining, the young leukemia patient and his family opted to take part in a clinical trial, a one-time immunotherapy infusion that included a synthetic receptor designed to identify ...

If DNA bridges remain between chromosomes after cell division, chromosomes become improperly segregated, resulting in genetic ...

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

Researchers from USask have identified a potential target for eliminating breast cancer cells. The team was led by Dr. Franco ...

They also divided asymmetrically to create daughter cells with a longer shape. Asymmetric division was found to be more likely in isomorphic cells. Would isomorphism in zebrafish translate to ...

Understanding these thresholds is important because they reveal how efficient this self-organizing system is in guiding division to the right place. UC San Diego researchers have engineered ...

This useful study explores the role of RAP2A in asymmetric cell division (ACD) regulation in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), drawing parallels to Drosophila ACD mechanisms and proposing that an ...

Our bodies are made of hundreds of different cells. Neurons, muscles, blood vessels, liver, kidney, etc., each are made of very different cell types. They differ in many respects: in biochemistry, ...

In healthy cells, Rb acts as a ‘brake’ that can prevent cells from entering a new division cycle 4. What is remarkable is that the differences in cell-cycle duration were observed only in the ...
