A research team has identified a new mechanism that controls DNA’s ability to replicate—and thereby a cell’s ability to ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a ...

Cancer may be an inevitability of cell division and, therefore, life. But in the US, great progress has been made fighting ...
