In a nutshell Female cells randomly use either the maternal or paternal X chromosome—this study shows that relying more ...

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the ...

Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden made an unexpected discovery while investigating genetically unique women.

UCSF researchers found that brain cells age more quickly when they rely solely on the X chromosome inherited from a female's ...

Women are born with two X chromosomes and inherit one from each parent. But in every cell of their body, just one X chromosome is needed—so the other is randomly inactivated. Some cells use only ...

People with shorter telomeres, the protective caps at the end of chromosomes, inside their white blood cells may be more ...

Using a new technology and computational method, researchers from Fred Hutch Cancer Center and The University of Texas MD ...

The image is a time projection of mitochondria (in the cytoplasm, grey) and chromosomes (center of the cell, orange) during anaphase showing a flow pattern with vortexes. The flow pattern is aligned ...

Cancer cells have special adaptation mechanisms that allow them to proliferate despite changes in their genetic makeup. Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau, Rhineland-Palatinate, ...
