When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

Disruption of fatty acid storage triggers tumor cell death in preclinical models of high-risk medulloblastoma, offering a ...

Tel Aviv University researchers say abnormal chromosomes help breast cancer to metastasize to the brain; study could help ...

Life’s story may stretch further back than scientists once thought. Some genes found in nearly every organism today were already duplicated before all life shared a common ancestor. By tracking these ...

Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with ...

Cornell researchers have discovered a new way cells regulate how they respond to stress, identifying an interaction between ...

Baker’s yeast isn’t just useful in the kitchen — it may also be built for space. Researchers found that yeast cells can ...

When nutrients run low, hair follicle stem cells can stop making hair and help repair the skin instead. A drop in the amino ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

In a recent study, researchers manipulated cellular proteins that control genes in aged mice. Experimental results showed their livers were rejuvenated to younger states. This work shows promise as a ...

A new study discovers that early pregnancy in mice reduces buildup of ‘confused’ cells that could lead to breast cancer later in life.
