Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

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 ...

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.

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

Human biology is not black and white. Although newborns are typically categorized as male or female at birth based on visible ...

NYU scientists have discovered that cancer cells work together to withstand challenging conditions, revealing new ...

Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological ...

The authors have generated important resources such as a reference dataset of early primate development by utilizing single-cell transcriptomic technology together with induced pluripotent stem cells ...
