Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

The findings suggest that the parental origin of the X chromosome influences brain health and may explain differences in aging and disease risk between sexes and individuals. UCSF researchers found ...

Feb. 6, 2025 — A recent study investigates how polyester microdroplets, potential precursors to modern cells, could form under realistic early Earth conditions. Researchers pushed these ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

Chromosome abnormality is the condition in a cell or organism where the number of chromosomes or the structure of any chromosome differs from the normal karyotype. When the variant genotype is not ...

RTCB is required for the splicing of both tRNA and XBP1 mRNA, whereas the DDX1 enzymatic activity is specifically required for tRNA splicing in vivo. Snaebjornsson et al. explore a selective ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

This is called photosynthesis. The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram ...

An innovative organoid model mirrors the pancreas' complexity, generating all three key cell types to explore development and possible regeneration.
