New research has identified yet another way that spaceflight tampers with the human body. A study involving samples flown on four SpaceX resupply missions to the International Space Station has ...

A research team led by Professor Simona Giunta at the University of Rome La Sapienza has produced the first reference-quality genome assembly of an experimentally relevant human cell line, the widely ...

The rigors of space travel could accelerate changes in the human body usually associated with aging. According to a new study of human tissues sent into low-Earth orbit, time in space reduces cell ...

“While the rest of the genome shuffles between the maternal and paternal origins, centromeres are inherited intact: one from ...

Uptake of cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cells and carrying non-coding DNA could redefine mammalian ...

A protein known as MPS1 helps to ensure that a key process during cell division of oocytes—unfertilized egg cells—occurs in a ...

Telomere damage drives T cell exhaustion. Antioxidants restored their cancer-fighting strength in mice. Tumor environments place heavy stress on immune cells that fight cancer. Limited oxygen, ...

New research shows cannabis can speed up egg maturation but at the cost of egg quality, increasing the risk of abnormal ...

Scientists have discovered which animal was the first to branch off from our collective common ancestor. For years, debate ...

An unassuming butterfly called the Atlas blue has been confirmed to have the greatest known number of chromosome pairs of any ...

Researchers have produced the first reference-quality genome assembly of an experimentally relevant human cell line, the widely used retinal pigment epithelial line RPE-1.
