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 ...

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

Now, researchers at MIT have discovered a way to manipulate these early cellular motions using light, providing a new tool to ...

SINGAPORE – A new programme has launched in Singapore to formally study the applications of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in vaccine ...

Scientists reveal the role of hidden microbes called Asgard archaea in the origins of complex life, challenging long-held ...

Among other functions, the NK cells (natural killers, a type of lymphocyte forming part of the immune system) have the capacity to detect and eliminate cancer cells. But in some cases they cannot ...

Synthetic Biology is advancing the use of microorganisms as cancer therapies, with scientists engineering bacteria to boost antitumor immunity and deliver ...

Wolfgang Peti, PhD, professor of molecular biology and biophysics, shows us how cryo-EM works and how it can help speed up drug design and ultimately ...

Human aging significantly contributes to cognitive decline and increased susceptibility to late-life neurodegenerative diseases (e.g.Alzheimer’ s disease, ...

Life takes shape with the motion of a single cell. In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start ...
