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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) say they have now found that when the brain cells of female mice express only a maternal X chromosome, the animals’ memory and ...

The X contains more genes related to brain function than does any other chromosome. “The X chromosome may be a treasure trove ...

Researchers have uncovered which genes on the Y chromosome regulate the development of sperm and impact fertility in male mice. This research could help us understand why some men don't produce enough ...

A new case report was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on February 5, 2025, titled “A case report of donor cell–derived ...
