Centromeres play virtually the same central role across the entire tree of life: They ensure the faithful segregation of ...

Centromeres are regions of DNA where the cell's machinery grabs each chromosome and pulls it into the two daughter cells. Centromeres are essential ...

A new study reveals evidence of electrical signaling and coordinated behavior in choanoflagellates, the closest living relatives of animals. This elaborate example of cell communication offers key ...

All modern multicellular life — all life that any of us regularly see — is made of cells with a knack for compartmentalization. Recent discoveries are revealing how the first eukaryote got its start.

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

When Alice Bertaina, M.D., Ph.D., attended medical school in Italy, her goal was to work in pediatrics. But she wasn’t sure ...

Addition of IL-6 and phosphate to the m-EASIX score and detection of ICANS and CRS progression. A first-in-human study to evaluate a personalized neoantigen-based mRNA-loaded dendritic cell vaccine, ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...
