Scientists at the Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) in Zagreb, Croatia, have discovered that the protein CENP-E, long believed ...

For the past two decades, biology textbooks have described CENP-E as a motor protein that moves along microtubules. The ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells ...

Motor proteins are tiny "machines" inside cells that use chemical energy to move along molecular tracks and carry out essential processes like chromosome segregation during cell division. When a cell ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

This interesting study adapts machine learning tools to analyze movements of a chromatin locus in living cells in response to serum starvation. The machine learning approach developed is useful, the ...

An emerging process, known as in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), involves reprogramming skin cells to become a type of stem cell ...

In a surprising discovery, MIT scientists found tiny loops in the genomes of dividing cells. Enabled by a high-resolution ...

Researchers have succeeded in making human skin cells behave like egg cells, though the resulting fertilized embryos run them ...

The embryos weren’t used to try to establish a pregnancy, but the researchers behind the technique say it could one day be ...

Life cycles require the creation of an autonomous individual, that individual’s growth and that individual’s reproduction In ...

From secret mushroom worlds to extreme close-ups of cell motion, these photographs represent how, in science, things often ...
