The improper segregation of chromosomes during cell division leads to abnormalities that disrupt the proper functioning of ...

Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be arranged into 23 pairs. Each chromosome in a pair carries the same types of genes. The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes: In females ...

Study in mice and human cadavers hints that a brain-protective gene in the chromosome becomes more active with age.

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 ...

Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to ...

A recent Trump executive order defines sex based on gamete size. But the order oversimplifies genetics, hormones and reproductive biology.

The cell's nucleus contains chromosomes. These are long threads of DNA, which are made up of many genes. Humans have around 25,000 genes across their 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Furthermore, the constructs often attached to natural chromosomes, potentially disrupting the host cell’s genome. In the new study, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania circumvented this ...

The Brandeis Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) Program offers a uniquely collaborative, nurturing, supportive and close-knit community conducting internationally recognized research at the frontiers of ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro proof-of-concept study.

HIV-1 Vif induces a unique and prolonged pseudo-metaphase arrest by disrupting phosphatase feedback regulation at the kinetochore.
