Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

A new study finds that a trait helping a marine bacterium survive and flourish today may ultimately become its Achilles Heel as ocean conditions continue to shift.

Every day, our bodies perform around 330 billion cell divisions to keep us alive and functioning. These divisions rely on the cell cycle, which has been in place since the earliest bacteria. The ...

A preclinical study has reported that simultaneous inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases 2 and 4/6 produced durable tumour ...

Cilia are evolutionarily conserved, microtubule-based organelles that project from the surface of most eukaryotic cells and play a central role in sensing ...

The ability of mutations to cause cancer depends on how fast they force cells to divide, Sinai Health researchers have found. The study, led by Dr. Rod Bremner, a Senior Investigator at the ...

One of the most abundant living organisms on Earth may also be one of the most vulnerable. A group of ocean bacteria known as ...

DNA, though tightly packed in the nucleus, is constantly threatened by damage from metabolism and external stressors. One particularly severe form of DNA damage is the so-called DNA–protein crosslinks ...

Researchers studying the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum have discovered a previously unknown stage in its life cycle ...

A new preclinical study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, published in Nature Communications, identifies a powerful strategy to overcome drug resistance in breast ...
